As a Christ follower, you are a child of God and a member of God’s family. You can pray directly to God, have fellowship, and can spend time with Him any time. You are an ambassador for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20).

Expected Outcome: Every Disciple Maker will establish a mentoring lifestyle that effectively equips and develops leaders. Once a church is planted, the goal of the church planter is to move toward reproduction. This requires that they train and develop leaders from within the church.
