Helpful Training: Discipleship



Those you are mentoring will need to know the basics in becoming a disciple of Christ. They should also be able to guide others through the process of knowing Christ and becoming like Him.
Matthew 28:18-20, “And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

Some items you can train your protégé on would be:
1. How to have a quiet time with the Lord
2. Growing in understanding of the Word through various Bible Study Methods
3. Scripture Memorization
4. Character Development
5. Setting personal/ministry goals
6. Participating in ministry projects or how to lead a ministry project
7. Developing a personal mission statement
8. Preparing a personal testimony
9. Sharing the gospel with others

This isn’t a comprehensive list, but is a starting point for you as a mentor. You will play a critical role in guiding your protégé in spiritual growth and in ministry skills.
