"And Jesus said to them, Come after Me and be My disciples, and I will make you to become fishers of men. And at once they left their nets and [yielding up all claim to them] followed [with] Him [joining Him as disciples and siding with His party]." (Mar 1:17-18)

Amen (so let it be)." (Mat 28:19-20)

DISCIPLESHIP
With all the ingredients necessary to personally – one-on-one - train and raise up men and women who are like Christ Jesus – discipleship makes for effective spiritual growth and equipping the body of Christ, so that it could fully function and operate as a powerful instrument and witness, while it grows up into its full stature as mature sons of God, the gate of hades not being able to overcome it anymore.
Being complimented with the small intimate cost effective family group units of house churches, which are effectively able to identify and utilize the gifts and talents, which every individual was given, giving them the opportunity to develop to their full spiritual and emotional potential in Christ Jesus. Making for a safe environment in which to learn and if need be to make mistakes, as believers grow up into true spiritual maturity.
Jesus promised that those who believe and do what He has said will be able to what He has done and even greater things than Him. He did not ask something of us that was impossible, but gave us a pattern, by which and through which, we can reach this goal. He came to show us the way, personally making Himself our perfect example as the Author and Perfector of our faith. Before He left the earth, knowing that He had shown His disciples the pattern, by which and through which, to reproduce themselves, he said to them: GO and MAKE DISCIPLES and TEACH THEM everything I have taught and patterned for you! Going out they did what He had done and soon they saw the miraculous results: “the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem”
What makes us different? We fundamentally and literally practice the pattern of discipleship learnt from Jesus Christ, with no extra add-ons and prerequisites. Not lowering the standard, we desire to do what our Lord and Loving Master came to pattern for us. Through a simple practical lifestyle of discipleship we reach out to those around us as an ordinary lifestyle, making use of different avenues of outreach to touch the community and those around us.
Having 8 years’ experience in practical discipleship, after many years of seeing what was lacking in training and raising up a new kind of Christian believer or convert, led by the Holy Spirit, God confirmed that it was time to teach others how to raise up powerful leaders and effectively equip the Church of Jesus Christ, so that it could fully function and be a powerful witness, while it grows up into its full stature as mature sons of God, just as Jesus told us to do!
Discipleship is not a very favorite subject to many because it entails dying to self and living for other less lovable, less appreciative people who also need to know that God has for them. Jesus laid the standard for all who wants to truly follow Him and walk the most rewarding and yet also the most challenging lifestyle, saying: “Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.” (Mark 8:34-35 KJV) But
"A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master."
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
"But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil."
"A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master."
what very few have realized was what the motive was of those who gave up their lives and made a lifelong dedication to follow Jesus Christ, making disciples of all nations. They understood what Jesus meant when He asked: “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Mark 8:36-37 Ampl) They would do everything in exchange for the complete salvation of their being! Would you give up your life for Jesus Christ, because of His great and unmeasurable love for you?
Moses’ father-in-law, Jethro gave him a very effective way to lead a nation, consisting out about 2-3 million people! In order to effectively lead people we need fully equipped, trustworthy leaders who will be able to reproduce themselves, even as they themselves are a faithful example of their Master – Jesus Christ! This training and equipping process must be highly effective in reproducing persons of strong character and nature with the skills to be an example worthy to be followed by others, as they follow Jesus Christ!
Over 2000 years the organized, structured western denominational church has tried to evangelize the world for Jesus Christ and has still being unable to succeed!
Why could they not do it? How can we learn from our mistakes and overcome the obstacles so that the church of Jesus Christ can effectively be prepared and trained to raise up a new kind of convert who will be adequately equipped so that they can boldly take the message of the priceless privilege of know Jesus Christ to all mankind, bringing reconciliation between man and God and between man and man? The answer: ‘Practical apprenticeship’ of Jesus Christ – True discipleship!
Main Ministry Focus:
TRUE DISCIPLESHIP
Practical outflow of the life of Jesus Christ taught and demonstrated. A disciple must become like His Master. There is a major difference between being a student and a disciple. Discipleship is a lifestyle of apprenticeship. God, through Jesus Christ, life came to show us how to reproduce a true follower of Jesus Christ. Become part of a group where you will be trained to walk as Jesus did.
OUR HOUSE CHURCHES
The House church calls for small intimate closely knitted groups of disciples, who in a very cost effective way, can focus on individual spiritual growth. To many the concept of never going to a large building called church is foreign. The House church has great advantage for growth potential, as worthy individuals open up their houses to be used for the glory of God and to spread the gospel.
OUTREACHES
Reaching out into the community takes on many shapes. Including the encouraging and teaching of different churches; reaching out into local rural areas ministering the love of God through prophecy and healing; teaching and unlocking End Times; Prophetically ministering and equipping ministries and churches to hear the voice of God for themselves.
