Disciple making is a central theme in the New Testament, reflecting the heart of Jesus' ministry and the mission of the Church. Jesus commands His followers in Matthew 28:19-20 to "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." This Great Commission emphasizes the importance of not only evangelism but also the ongoing process of spiritual growth and maturity. The early church exemplified this in Acts 11, where the believers in Antioch were not only converted but also actively engaged in sharing their faith and multiplying their community. Paul’s letters further elaborate on this process, as seen in 2 Timothy 2:2, where he instructs Timothy to entrust the teachings to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. The concept of disciple making is not limited to individual relationships but extends to the collective mission of the church to multiply itself, as highlighted in the sermons on models of apostolic church. Ultimately, disciple making is about embodying the teachings of Christ, as outlined in all that Jesus taught, and living out the transformative power of the Gospel in community.
