    Making disciples is the ministry that every Child of god is to be part of.

    At first, it seems obvious that Jesus is speaking about evangelism. But as I’ve grown in my understanding of discipleship, I have come to see that discipleship isn’t a separate thing from evangelism. I used to think evangelism came before discipleship. But I now understand the biblical ...read more
