One-On-One Discipleship

Like A Tree Program (Click here for the manual)
In many churches across America, the Great commission in Matthew 28: 18 – 20 is used to challenge God’s people in the area of soul-winning. However, care should be taken to recognize that “soul-winning” is merely the first step in the commission. There are 4 key thoughts in the Great Commission. They are to GO, WIN, BAPTIZE and DISCIPLE. Biblical discipleship is the means that God has given His church to reach the world and is a necessary outgrowth of biblical evangelism.

Formal discipleship does not take the place of preaching. However, it is an important tool in helping mature and ground believers in the Word of God. The new convert is to be taught and nurtured in his faith by a more mature Christian. If we Christians will not capture the burden for discipleship or continue to neglect our responsibility to the next generation, we will continue to be carnal, struggling Christians in our churches. As mature Christians, we have an obligation to teach others what we have learned.

We praise God for the discipleship materials of Rev. John Honeycutt and of the Reformers’ Unanimous International. Currently, we are on the process of reorganizing the partnership since we have Christian who have moved on as Disciplers and since we have seen God add new believers to the fold. Each partnership can meet anytime throughout the week for one full hour. Each meeting is consisted of prayer, sharing, fellowship and Bible study. More importantly, each partnership seeks to develop a stronger relationship and a more faithful walk with Christ.


It is vital that as a church, we remember all of the Great commissions is applicable to our ministries, including discipleship. It is only by God’s grace as we work closely with others that we can permanently succeed. Let us remember that discipleship is a vital part of our calling to fulfill the Great commission.

By training new disciples, we are carrying Christ’s command to reach the world, from the biblical standpoint. Discipleship is part of the multiplication process found in II Timothy 2:2 “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.”
