Our Approach to Building Disciples

It is God’s will for every believer to be nurtured to maturity: “We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete (mature) in Christ.” (Colossians 1:28)

Scripture describes the process of becoming mature in Christ as “being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory” (II Corinthians 3:18). This transformation is linked to biblical disciple building, a process that leads to Christlike maturity. Jesus put it this way: “When a disciple is fully trained, he will become like his Teacher.” (Luke 6:40)

It’s clear from Matthew 28:18-20 that Jesus wants us to make disciples of all nations. But we need a complete understanding of what it means to follow Christ and help others follow Him.

Extensive research, coupled with decades of disciple building experience, has enabled WDA to help today’s disciple builders design and implement specific growth activities.

Disciple building is a biblical imperative, a primary task for the Church (Matthew 28:19-20). It is the process by which more mature believers, in cooperation with God’s Spirit, assist less mature believers as they progress in their faith toward Christlike maturity, intimacy with God and good works. The goal of disciple building is maturity that glorifies God.
