EVANGELISM

Mark 16:15-18
15
And he said to them: Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
16

It is the preaching of the gospel (good news of salvation) of salvation through Jesus and with
the power of the Holy Spirit to other unconverted people, with the purpose of them being able to
repent of their sins, put their faith in Christ as Lord and Savior, and find a new
life in El.

Discipleship
And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 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."
18
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying: All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

end of the world. Amen.

Discipleship

of its character. The Bible is a means by which human beings can "know"
of God. John 17:3 says, 'This is eternal life: that they may know you,...'.
The Holy Spirit
This guide fervently seeks for all those involved in the process
to make disciples, listen to the voice of the Spirit and obey it.
(1 Corinthians 2:6-16)
Commitment: This has to do with the heart attitude of the discipler (father
spiritual), in relation to spiritual well-being and the development of the disciple
(spiritual son). This is a commitment that goes beyond the presentation of the
word of God.

Modeling: The discipler is a model for the disciple, in ways that go beyond
beyond the relationship of a teacher and a student. How is patience or
fidelity, or passion? These things are observed, they are not just concepts to listen to.
Individual attention: Personal discipleship is not just an academic presentation.
It is a dynamic relationship between the one discipling and the disciple. The material for this guide is
designed to assist dialogue and the
conversation that guides spiritual growth. The interaction takes place between two or
three (or more) people who get to know each other, with the
clear objective to reproduce the life of Christ among them and all others who

"consumer of faith..." is the center of this Christian friendship. This guide focuses on
in Christ, in hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit, in concrete goals that help us to
to form Christ in others.
Discipleship is a believer with a burning desire in their heart to share Christ.
Another, so that they share it with others (2 Timothy 2:2 asks that God show him 2 or 3
people with whom they can meet, and together they open their hearts to God and allow Him to
speak.
The discipler is not the teacher, the teacher is Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit, and the
Word of God.

F. What is the purpose of discipleship?

It is to help unconverted people to know Christ, also to help new believers, friends.

obtain that knowledge. Romans 12:1-2

G. How and whom do I choose as my disciples?
As for how? Luke 6:12-16 guides us to pray first, then choose at least
two, three or more people (maybe 12 would be a maximum number).
As for whom? You can choose from:

New Christians who have converted in the church or that you yourself have gone to.

When calling his potential disciples, make a first pact to meet at the
next 2 to 3 months every week. After 2 months they can reassess.

Try to keep the meeting under one hour or at most an hour and a half.
Always keep an ear to listen. Before meeting with your disciples, do it.

M. How does discipleship work?

It's meeting with his disciple, (similar to
how a father sees his son grow from birth to maturity and
(independence) and with specific goals for spiritual growth at each step.

There are stages to be completed for discipleship, these stages are:

a. "Contact" stage: It is related to the idea of "going or going to Mateo".

28:18”. It is the step of approaching those who do not know the Lord, showing them love and
sincere friendship, to serve them and pray for them.
When you pray for others who do not know the Lord, that is when you begin the process of 'going and seeking.'
to his disciples. (You mobilize them, call them on the phone, get together for lunch and start like this a
friendship that will be led to the truths of Christ.
When God has allowed him to enroll at least two or more people, then the stage has been
completed with these possible disciples.
b.Stage of 'Conversion': All true spiritual growth begins with the
new birth. The one who disciples must ensure that the people through
those who have been praying and have begun to meet with them, have been born of
new. There is no way to see a movement of God without a new birth.
Their contacts must be born again by the Spirit, which in its essence are encounters of
evangelization and seeking that the person be
"convert" that's why it's called "conversion".
Stage of "Sowing"
This is the stage of sowing the greatest number of 'seeds of the word of God'. Your disciple
has been born to a new life in Christ. Now he/she has the potential to grow
spiritually. It's like a baby, ready
to drink the pure spiritual milk, and grow to the stature of Christ.
At this stage, they will be eager to begin their spiritual growth.

There is no defined time to cover this stage. It is suggested that when

First, you should plan the maximum number of possible contacts with your
disciple in such a way that in a period of 2 to 3 months you have
covered most of the basic concepts.
Guide your own disciples to start the stages themselves.

disciples who will begin to form other disciples.

Stage of "Leadership" (to multiply):

At this stage, you empower your most loyal disciple in leadership, encouraging them to
let him start to lead his own group (his harvest) of discipleship. It is
like a father, who allows his son to take his life destiny into his own hands.
It is a stage of empowering and sending.
Suggestions for making visits or contacts
For your first contacts or visits, you can use a process like this:
Always start by praying for people. This is a spiritual work and
we need the Holy Spirit to be active in people for the
which we pray for and that we plan to go visit.
Ask the Spirit to reveal the needs of the person for whom
Now. Then try to meet those needs. Essentially we invite you to
to love the people you will disciple, in concrete ways (helping with
the children, bringing food, etc.) and show yourself friendly. Earn the right
that they listen to him with the gospel through love.
Plan to contact people and do what you have planned. If it's a visit.
personal, prepare all the necessary things to meet with your future
disciple. So make an appointment in advance with the person you are going to
to visit.
Remember: Everyone who passes in front of your life and in some way
if he starts to relate to you, it is because the Lord has brought him close
yours so that in some way, that person knows that Jesus is the Lord.
Take advantage of every opportunity to make each of your contacts be
a "celestial contact"
b. Every time you make your contact remember:
Pray beforehand
Show genuine interest and be oriented to the needs of the listener.
Always be on the lookout to get closer at the right time and with the
proper attitude.
If you make a personal visit, always try to go with someone else. If it is a
visiting someone of the same sex is much more acceptable and easier to do a
visit alone. But if it is of the opposite sex, always go accompanied by
someone.
rReveal how to start a friendly conversation.
Always wait for the direction of the Holy Spirit, in reality nothing will
replace the fact that you consult Him before any step.
 Activities (Seek the Spirit to plan how and when to approach
his possible disciple
The activities I planned will help you to engage in dialogue with your disciple. You
you can use:
Your personal testimony. Share with your disciple how you came to know Jesus.
What God speaks to him in his times of prayer.
Biblical examples.
Anything that can concretely demonstrate God's love for people.
So to decide what
activities will be carried out, listen to the voice of God and do what He tells you.
Always try to be brief and natural.

SPIRITUAL TASKS(things that he will ask his disciple to do when he is alone and
that will help him learn to be obedient, responsible, and grow spiritually): Always
he left his disciple something to do that complements the biblical principle he has shared.

When you meet, you will need a conducive environment so that they feel comfortable.
in a conducive environment for the spiritual. Therefore, one must pray to the Spirit and ask for its guidance to
provide a loose, free, familiar environment that allows for the presence of the Spirit.

The communion should help you break the ice and foster the
relationship to one another, how will it do it? Some suggestions:

Start by eating something together. Encourage people to talk with it, to

get to know each other and grow to a greater level of trust in each other. Take care of the
time and at the right moment start talking about spiritual matters.
Plan a creative game.
Use special music, sing together!
Ask how their discipleship work for the Lord has been going.
Seek a time to invite the presence of the Spirit in your meetings to the point of taking
awareness that he is there.
You can guide for a while in short sentences.
You can take the lists of names you have and start praying for them.
people who are named there.
Open a time to hear testimonies of what happened the previous week
what they have learned, what they did in relation to discipleship, spiritual things learned,
victories, problems, etc.

Always time for everyone's participation. Share as if you

was talking with the people.
Try to have personal examples of how the word you share has been
made real in his life.
Q. What, finally, is advised to me to share this discipleship guide?
Do not scare your disciple, approach with love and faith. What you have to share in your first
meetings can be held over a cup of coffee or while cleaning his disciple's car.
b. Remember that discipleship begins when a person receives Christ in their
heart. Once a person has converted to the Lord, plan to meet with
he as often as possible.
Focus. The first 2 to 3 months are vital for the life of the new believer.
c. Be simple and clear with your disciple. Always lead him to Jesus. It is the Spirit that produces everything.
change.
Do not forget to always help your disciple to have their own disciples. The day that
you be a spiritual great-grandfather, that day you can declare that you have been effective
to make disciples that multiply.

Learning to disciple one, two, or three people at a time will take you time. Perhaps you can...
be discouraged at not seeing results quickly. But be patient if this is the case, the Lord
it will bear fruit in its time.
