Local disciple making takes place with those nearby. It includes the people with whom you work, live, play and attend school. It's your neighbors, workmates, roommates, teammates, or classmates. It includes those you know, and those you don't know. In other words, anyone you encounter on a daily basis.

Local Disciple Making consists of three resources: Starting Points, Action Steps, and Tools. Starting Points define local disciple making. They are informational. 
Action Steps are a simple strategy for making disciples. They are application oriented and require doing. Tools are useful resources mentioned in Starting Points and Action Steps. Overview summarizes the entire disciple making process.
