OUTREACH TOOLS
Just like we pray every week, in Matthew 28:18-20, we see Jesus' instructions for us - the tools below can catalyze us to live this out!
Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Making Disciples
Jesus invites ALL of us to make disciples! (Matt. 28) Ultimately Jesus is the leader in your discipleship group, and you get to discover how to follow and obey Him together. Whether you're brand new to following Jesus or have for years, we all have something to learn from each other in discipling friendships! (Ephesians 4:16)
