Tutorial		Previous|Quit Tutorial |Next Jesus' pattern for making disciples is still effective! Developing people involves helping people grow in each of the four stages. In stage one, Jesus demonstrated credibility and authenticity allowing them to come and see His character, commitment, and compassion. He was building a dynamic relationship with them by including them in His circle of love with other believers, a commitment to membership. In stage two, Jesus instructed them by teaching and example in the basic disciplines of prayer, the Word, fasting, etc. He wanted them to embody the values and character of the Kingdom so they could achieve their God-given potential. He wanted them to commit to life-long spiritual growth and maturity. In stage three, Jesus helped the disciples to discover and develop their gifts and calling. He did ministry with them, allowing them to do ministry as apprentices. He involved them so they could find their place and part in God's plan. He wanted them to commit themselves to ministry. In stage four, Jesus was preparing His disciples to own and advance the mission. He wanted them to understand fully the objective of the mission and the pattern for success. He was investing them into the cause asking them to commit themselves to the mission.   Previous|Quit Tutorial |Next
