The art of discipleship is lacking in so many churches because we do not think through our processes. How To Do A Purpose Driven Evening Service has a fascinating chapter that is worth sharing with the entire church - a chapter that contains a survey of the main denominations and the type of discipleship ministries they offer to their people. I challenge you to download that book and read Chapter 2. Personally, I think it is the most important item on this entire website...and, of course, there are plenty of items! Why? Because that chapter reveals the capability of a small church of just 100 regular attendees. We leaders may not be able to control how much our people grow, but we can control whether we give them the tools to grow!
