Discipleship 101

A Program to Enhance the Role of Disciples

“All authority in heaven and earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20)

The Rev. John C. Maxwell said, “The true measure of leadership is influence – nothing more, nothing less.” And that is what we Christians do all day. But what kind of relationships are being development? How do we come across to others? How do others feel about themselves when they are around us?
