80% of the world’s evangelical Christians live in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Over the last 50 years, God’s church has grown exponentially in these areas.

These regions have tremendous mission sending potential to help bring the gospel to unreached peoples, but they currently send only 20% of the world’s cross-cultural missionaries!

Scripture memory and interacting with God's Word is one of the most important spiritual disciplines to help a new believer grow and sustain their faith. Use this simple Bible study to establish the value of scripture memory in your disciples or small group. This gives enough information and motivation to get someone started on this life changing habit. Simply print and use at your next meeting!

What can be more important than spending daily time with the God of the Universe, the Savior of our souls, the Lord of our lives? Answer: Nothing! Find out how to set aside some intimate time with Jesus each day to build and strengthen the personal relationship you have with Him. Be willing to say no to some lesser things in your life in order to say yes to meeting with Him face to face, and heart to heart. Make it a daily habit for the rest of your life. You will never regret it!

Bonding together with other believers is one of the most important things you can do to keep growing in your faith and witness. To isolate yourself is like taking a burning log out of the roaring fire and tossing it out on its own. Before long the flame will disappear, it will start to smolder and smoke, and will finally become totally extinguished. Committing yourself to other Christians who are walking with God will help keep you walking with God for the long haul. Find a good church that preaches the Word of God and plug in to learn, serve and grow. If you haven&rsquo;t been baptized, do it. Jesus was baptized and tells us to do so as well. It doesn&rsquo;t save you, but is a powerful outward sign to the whole world of an inward commitment you have made to Christ. Look up these passages and see how the Lord wants to work in your life.

Fellowship, Baptism, and the Church

The Word

One of the main reasons Christians don&rsquo;t commit to disciple younger believers is they aren&rsquo;t exactly sure what to do or how to do it.
We&rsquo;ve compiled 12 discipleship lessons, 4 on the Foundations and 8 on Establishing them in the basics of the Christian faith and what it means to be a disciple.
Download it, print it, and bring it with you to your next one-to-one discipleship meeting. Read the article, The Basics: Simple and Reproducible Tools for Discipleship for more information on the why and how to utilize these simple resources.
The Basics are simple and reproducible tools you can use to build biblical knowledge, skills, character, and vision into someone&rsquo;s life.
Paul told Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:2 to entrust the truth to faithful men &ldquo;who will be able to teach others also.&rdquo; Utilizing this principle of transferability and putting everything down on the &ldquo;bottom shelf&rdquo; for your disciple will set them up for success, thus preparing them to be &ldquo;able to teach others also&rdquo; exactly what you taught them.&nbsp;

Prayer and Worship

All of us have a choice. Every single day. Do I take control of my life today or do I turn over the control to Jesus? For me it can be a moment by moment decision as to whether I will put &ldquo;self&rdquo; on the throne of my heart or put Christ there. Will I build up my kingdom today or will I seek to build up His Kingdom? My glory or His? Here is a biblical study to help you wrestle through who should be running your life. I will give you a hint. Jesus does a much better job than you or I ever could. Today is the day to humble yourself before the Lord of Lords and allow Him to be who He really is in your life.

What are the basics of the Christian life? Don&rsquo;t let anyone push you off the road onto an exit ramp that will have you focusing on the &ldquo;exotics&rdquo; rather than the &ldquo;essentials&rdquo; of following Christ. Keep it simple, keep it doable, keep it biblical! Just keep diving deeper and deeper into the Lordship of Jesus Christ, your daily time in prayer and the Word, your love for other believers, and outreach to the lost. If you can get strong and consistent in these &ldquo;basics&rdquo; you are surely on your way to becoming a sold-out disciple of Jesus Christ. This Wheel Illustration is a great tool to evaluate your own spiritual growth, but also as a guide as you start to disciple other new believers. In fact, you might consider pulling it out every week to discern what aspect of &ldquo;The Wheel&rdquo; you personally need to grow in, as well as helping you put together a practical and biblical growth plan for the upcoming sessions you are having with your young disciples!&nbsp; This tool references the <a href="http://campusministry.org/docs/tools/LordshipCirclesSmall.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lordship Circles,</a> the <a href="http://campusministry.org/docs/tools/ACTSGrid.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ACTS prayer method</a>, the <a href="http://campusministry.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/The-Hand.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hand Illustration</a>, and the <a href="/students/resources/the-bridge">Bridge Diagram</a>, so you may want to check out those tools as well.
