Day 24 - Be a Disciple-Maker

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.  Matthew 28:19

I am so amazed at how we've taken the "Go" part of the Great Commission and programmed it to death, but we've neglected the "make disciples".

There's popular "evangelism technique" being taught all over the world on how to share your faith with others.  They usually involve a "cold call" type of evangelism where you meet random people off the street and share the Gospel with them.  Now, there is a time and a place for this type of evangelism, but it only takes one of several parts of the Great Commission.  The "Go" part. 

Now, I'm not knocking any of these programs.  I have spent countless Friday and Saturday nights walking down the streets in my college town just randomly stopping people and talking to them about Christ.  Not a single one of them ever showed up at my church or a bible study.  But, I used to knock on doors at college in the dorms and my best friend (and my current roommate) did come to one of my bible studies, got saved, I discipled her and now it's 15 years later - she's still serving the Lord.

I have found the greatest impact you can have on one's life is to share yours.  That's what discipleship is about - sharing your life with Christ with others.

I am taking this DARE.  As a result of this book, I am now discipling two young ladies with this Discipleship Dare Book.  We are taking the time to share what God is speaking and allowing God to help us all to grow as a result.
