Discipleship materials

We proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, 

so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.

 Colossians 1:28

Colossians 1:28 presents us with a daunting task – present every believer He puts into our paths as complete and mature in Christ.

It is overwhelming to think about how to go about this task, but I have good news for you!  We are in the midst of getting some very good discipleship materials ready for your use.  The materials, CruComm, will be available in Russian several at a time, so I will send them out as I get them in my hands.  The first set I am sending are more foundational, but there will soon be studies for students who are already confident in their understanding of and ability to teach others the foundational truths.

If the Lord hasn’t yet placed believers in your life who you can help to develop in their walk with Him, ask Him to direct you to students who are ready to start the discipleship process.  If there are just a few of you committed to reaching your campus, then why not use these materials to disciple each other.

Please let me know what you think of these materials throughout the year.  We are in the midst of searching for the best resources we can get for you, so we would like to know what you think about this discipleship set.  They will come in the form of topical studies and book studies (a set of studies from the Book of John or Ephesians, etc).

Check these studies out from Cru.Comm:

The Gospel isn’t simply for us – blessed to be a blessing

Rooted and established – experiencing the power and love of God

Some of the topics we hope to cover this year are:

-eternal perspective

-stewardship

-position in Christ

-community

-holiness

-submission to authority

-spiritual battle

-the Spirit-filled life

-commitment

Of course having a good set of resources won’t make someone grow to maturity in Christ – it is God’s Spirit working in your disciples lives who grows someone in Christ.  Colossians 1:29 (To this end I labor, struggling with all His energy, which so powerfully works in me) reminds us to find our power and strength to develop another believer into Christ-likeness.   It is as you and those you are discipling faithfully work together with the Spirit, that you will experience the blessings of being involved in discipleship.
