A Definition

When I speak of disciples making disciples I am referring to Christ followers who really love Jesus and wants to follow Him and His Mission in his/her life. (Jesus wants us to continue what He started by reaching those He died for).

As we (Christ -followers) invade the world, cities and our neighborhoods we have God-opened doors to let others see Jesus in us. As unsaved people see Jesus in us and as we build relationships with them - trust and hunger for God deepens and soon they will want to know the Jesus in us and we simply tell them how Jesus came into our lives.

As a Christ follower leads someone who becomes a Christ follower -we keep walking together and the new Christ follower repeats the process over and over as you do the same.

The churched - believer in America has trouble with their understanding of discipleship. Let me simplify it further. Jesus is asking us to engage the lost. This is what I call discipling people to Jesus so they will become Christ followers. As they find Christ we continue revealing Jesus to them and they very soon reveal Jesus to others.

Is this really hard to understand or am I missing something here?
