Working Together to Make Disciples
God wants you to view the other Christians in your life as partners in ministry. The church is all about working together for Godʼs glory. God has not called you to make disciples in isolation, He has placed you in the context of a church body so that you can be encouraged and challenged by the people around you; and you are called to encourage and challenge them in return.
As you begin this study, think about how you will proceed. Are there Christians in your life that you can study this material with? Are there mature believers that you can approach with the questions that will inevitably arise? I want you to think through this material on your own and let these truths saturate your mind, heart, and lifestyle. But youʼll get a lot more out of this if you have
other people to talk with, be challenged by, and work together with.
7. Who has God placed in your life that you can partner with in making disciples?
8. Spend some time praying that God will make you into a committed and effective disciple maker. Confess any feelings of unpreparedness and insecurity. Ask Him to empower you for the ministry He is calling you to. Ask Him to lead you to the right people to partner with and the right people to begin discipling.
God has placed some great people in my life to partner with!

So many times we think it's just us and God...we are not alone, we were saved into a community. We NEED Each other. So many times in my life I have had Christian Friends, but we never talked about real struggles or never prayer together outside of church. We need to do this more.
