Matthew 28:18-20 "v.18... All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. v.19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, v.20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."
What a clear instruction from Jesus! There is no need for interpretations...

DISCIPLESHIP is a call for us to follow Jesus to find the lost as the Gospel is preached to know God and to have personal relationship with Him.  We should not stop until the losts are found.

"Discipleship is relationship, we do not process people but we journey with them as they get to know Christ."

"We don't quit until the lost are found."

Thank you church for equipping and empowering us! Thank you for helping us to grow in our relationship with the Lord! Thank you Tita Patty for journeying with us.

It is in God's word that we will find Truth and Guidance. It is living and Active. It transforms every believer to be more like Jesus.

The Word should not remain just as information, but it should be applied in our lives.

A Victory Group is a lifestyle, a relationship and a journey that we take on to grow our faith and relationship with God along with our fellow believers.

My most valuable learning about making disciples is I've seen and experience 'go and make disciples of all nations' in a whole new level and through different channels and different people or even nationality not just the way I'm used to.

Biggest lessons I had include:
Discipleship is more than meeting every week and study the Word & material. It's about relationship and commitment to the people I lead. The purpose of VG is to create and empower more leaders so we can fish for more people - to spread the transforming power of the Gospel.

# data[].attributes.body
Main Lesson Learned:

I've learned that there are various, effective ways to engage people to usher them to Christ and develop them to be His followers by making the gospel relevant and applicable in every facet or form and in different situations and stages in life.

Discipleship is obeying God's leading in how HE will use us. It's a gift of God that can we used to share or teach without any cost (salary). Discipleship is a communication by expressing our love, care, patience, and understanding whatever hard it is but it's worth (sarap ng feeling). Sabi nga " Kapag tiyaga, may nilaga."
Thank you Lord for the gift, Thank you Victory church for equipping and empowering us. Thanks you VG group " WE ARE BLESSED", for believing me and trust sharing the word of God. I am so grateful and happy that some of them are leading too. I remembered what Pastor Steve Murrell say, " If you want strong disciples, it's not by spoon feeding them, but it's by empowering them to minister to others.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned  a lot of things in this journey from engaging to people, establishing , equipping to empowering. My heart now knows that I am precious to God and that everyone is valuable  to God. The biggest lesson for me is that we are never to young or never too old to answer God's calling. It's never too early or never too late to dive into a relationship with other believers, with other people, with the lost, to encourage  them to continue or start their faith walk with Jesus, with the help of the Holy Spirit's leading. Growing in faith together with other people I believe will advance God's kingdom.

I am very thankful of this lessons & I hope I can apply them in my journey as a believer, and share them as well to the next generations.

One of my greatest take aways is found in Matthew 5:14-16 Jesus says, "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." We are commanded to take the light we are given and spread it around the world to others so that they may see Christ and receive Him for themselves.

The main lesson I have learned is that in following Jesus, every disciple should make disciples. And at the very core of the discipleship is relationship.  Knowing that discipleship is not processing of people but it’s a journey with them as they get to know Jesus and decide to follow Him.

# data[].attributes.body
Discipleship is a journey of people who wants to grow and eager to learn the ways of Jesus. To follow Christ is to live for Him. To live for Him is to make disciples.

The journey of discipleship is endless. By God’s grace, we are being used as a channel to share God’s word and walk with every lost soul so they get to experience Jesus in their lives and have a deeper relationship with our Lord and Savior as well. Making time for each each and every individual I meet/talk to is always a great opportunity to journey with them in faith and just allow God To use us all mightily all for his glory and honor.

I am so grateful for our Church, our Pastors and my spiritual family for this time of equipping to help me in my faith journey. Shout out to my first VG Leader/Framily (friend turned family🙂)  and soon to be LG Leader, Motty, for always imparting her wisdom and making time for me and the rest of our VG.

As I was convicted that making disciples is a command, I hv learned in this training to sincerely care & pray for souls the Holy Spirit impresses upon me.

I am grateful and blessed for the life we have in Christ, inspite of our DISTANCE and at the same time being very busy we can still share and enjoy the life with Christ in our life..
We both learned so many things during this online Discipleship training, theres no reason for us to stop sharing the word of God wherever time may take us.,
All our dreams can come true if we have the COURAGE to pursue.. keep going God is with us— continue to Honor God and Be His disciples”Positive thinking will let you do everything better that negative thinking will(zig ziglar)
THANK YOU my dearest sis in Christ.. let’s continue our faith  to have a meaningful life.. is not about being rich, being popular being highly educated,or being perfect,its about being real, being humble, being able to share ourselves and touch the lives of others.. SEE YOU SOON..

I am so honored to be mentored by people who are really submerged with the love of God. Nun una natakot ako kasi iniisip ko if i am worthy to guide another soul to Christ, looking at my life parang hindi pa but then it reminded me na We are two broken people walking together towards Christ, as long as i am 1 chapter ahead.

What was instilled in me is when Jesus left the 99 for that "1" lost sheep. I was once that "1"... and now He found me! So i pray that my God will guide me and give me the grace to pay it forward ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks ate @jacquelinebautista (my VG leader) for your obedience to God... you answered His call to tap me 😊😊 May the Lord bless you a hunderd fold and even more!

I've learned how te be strong and contented with what I have. I overcome a lot of struggles in life especially with our situation (pandemic). It taught me lesson and I became more focused of the relationship with Him. It also taught me how to be patient in life...... Lord was always there throughout my journey, he never left me. I may be busy sometimes because of schoolworks and personal matters, I always think of Him all the time. As time passed by, I realized that no matter what we experience in life, there is ONE TRUE GOD that will hold us through our tough times. Kapit lang sa Kanya 💪🏻🙏🤍

"I am not mature enough or I don't think I'm ready or prepared to disciple someone." These are the thoughts that run through my mind every time I was asked to minister to someone. I would shy away or decline.

After going through the Making Disciples class, I was reminded that each one of us is called to minister. As long as we're one chapter ahead, we can share the gospel and that maturity comes as we minister. So, let us continue to break that mindset that we are not yet ready but instead let us fill our minds with God's promises. He will be the one to strengthen us, He will be the one to give us the courage and the boldness to share. We just have to step out in faith and trust Him.

Matthew 10:20 For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

Thankful for my VG leader for the shared lives and wisdom as well as for being generous of her time. Indeed, a leader full of FAITH.

All glory to God!

At first, I have doubts if I can do this. I kept asking myself, "Can I be a leader? Do I know enough to lead?". But thankfully, this class has taught me to step out in faith! It helped me understand that discipleship is not a program but instead a relationship. That in our Victory group, we will not fix people but we will serve as God's tool to know Him more as we journey in faith together. I had deeper understanding why we need to be connected to one another. This class has empowered me to share the Gospel more to the people around me. Thanks God for this! Thank you, church. Thank you Ate Ronna for journeying with me, with us. ✨

Discipleship is a never ending journey.  Our mistakes and weaknesses don’t disqualify us. They actually provide opportunities for Jesus’ power to shine through us. So, whatever you do, don’t give up! It won’t always be easy or pretty, but it will be worth it. We are spiritual contributors and not just spiritual consumers. Thank you, Sis Anna for spending so much of your time to share your knowledge and encouragement. Thank you Victory Fort for the teachings that you continuously share.  May the Lord bless us all!

Discipleship is relationship. God is ready to use us and mature as we minister. We do not process people but we journey with them as they get to know christ.

"Walk the talk." What goes out of one's mouth must reflect the life and the character he/she lives. And Jesus is the perfect example of a Discipler and a Leader. It can be seen with the way He has lived his whole life here on Earth.

"And Jesus said to them, "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men."". - Matthew 4:19
In discipleship, it is never our job to change the heart of a person, it is never our job to fix his/her life, it is never our job to convert him/her as a follower of Christ. Our main job is to "Follow Christ". Following and obeying His words will shed light to us as we go through our calling.

Lastly, the Gospel does not end to me. It is meant to be proclaimed and shared to all people who are also lost. My prayer is that God will use my story to be a testimony of His goodness and grace. Discipleship is never about me or us, it is about Him, His glory and the advancement of His kingdom. :)

"And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 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 things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen."

Every disciple should make disciples.
Spiritual progress, not perfection qualifies a person to make disciples. And discipleship is a relationship.

I've been so blessed in my journey on Making Disciples Online 2020 because it helps me understand the value of discipleship. And right now I am so excited to disciple the next generation. Praying for God's divine wisdom and favor on this.

My favorite learning about discipleship is having faith in God, sensitivity to His leading and humility to obey. I remember being prompted to reach out to the owner of this company to pray for him and while it wasn’t the most comfortable thing to do, it was alright because I knew I didn’t have to rely on myself. It’s His Spirit in us who will provide the words to speak and His presence will always go before us. We just really need to have faith in Him who is doing the work. ❤️

Discipleship is relationship. It takes character to be a disciple but it takes persistence to impart the character to another ❤️.

As I went through this class, I realized how big the heart of the Father God is for people. He pursued us with His unconditional love and amazing grace through sacrificing Jesus (the start of His discipleship to us) so we can be reconciled with Him, receive His gift of eternal life and enjoy His presence. The kind of love He has and His graciousness, I desire to imitate so people can experience God through me with the prayer to lead them to the knowledge of the gospel and discipleship. Thankful to God for this class that teaches us helpful lessons that we can apply in discipleship.

"One chapter ahead is a good start."

Discipleship is a mission given to ua by God. It's challenging and overwhelming for I do God's command. It is both a personal journey and a group journey for we all learn and grow in our faith through learning more about God together. God will speak to us differently through His word but at the end of the day, we all walk toward the direction that God calls us to take.

# data[].attributes.body
What I have learned in Making Discipleship is.. it's not about forcing someone to immediately follow Christ. It takes time. Using the S.A.L.T. method, leading them to know God more. the key is to "Listen".

It's about being equip to encourage and never stop believing in Christ in everything he has done. A God so powerful, good, and loving.

As an Intern I want to encourage my family, friends and people that i will met to share the Gospel for its the truth, the way, and the life. Even to strangers because "Every person is valuable to God."

# data[].attributes.body
Discipleship is a partnership/relationship that will help you both pursue God’s purpose. Your relationship with God should always be the primary. Our journey doesn’t end with being a church goer and having fellowship with co-believers. Key is to engage the lost because we were once lost.

Learning Application is Not that Easy.
I was not an easy person to disciple. It took one very patient victory group leader to help my formative years in Christianhood. Aside from attending church which was very conscious effort on my part, I surrounded myself with Christian friends who planted seeds in me for 8 years. Now that I have alot of bible verses memorized, 8 years of being discipled, it felt, andami kong bala to disciple others. I was wrong. Discipleship is not an easy task because I know I'm very blunt with words and tactless to a fault. Nakakapagod ha. It was right for me to follow the advice of my VG leader to attend this discipleship course. For that I'm grateful. This discipleship forum helped me prepare myself in dealing with baby Christians and people of other faiths.

Discipleship is a relationship,  a fellowship, and a journey (all at the same time)with other believers as we follow Jesus to fish for the lost souls, expectant to  God for the growth.

“I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor.”
1 Corinthians 3:6-8 ESV

Thanking Sis Let (Rosalhee) for walking with me in this journey of faith.

# data[].attributes.body
Discipleship is relationship first with God, and then with people. We must see people the way God sees them and values them - not giving up on each other but continuously encouraging to seek God more.

How much we put into practice is more important than how much we know.
Let us not limit God but let's trust that His grace is sufficient and depend more on Him and His love for us.

Spiritual progress, not perfection qualifies us to make disciples. Since it is a lifetime journey, it's not about how fast the pace is, we just have to keep living for God and in time, people will come to know Him through how we live our lives.

Making disciple is about reaching out to the lost for them to also experience the greatness and love of God. And while sharing testimonies you'll be able to look back and realize how faithful God is in our lives.

Discipleship is not about choosing who to disciple, it’s also not about information overload. It’s about having the same heartbeat as God’s for the lost - regardless of culture and background. It’s about putting information learned into action 🙏🏼

Biggest lesson learnt:
Making Disciples study reenforces the command to reach out & make Jesus known to others, to develop relationships & journey with others to a life  surrendered to Jesus while keeping in mind that everyone is valuable to God.

This Making Disciples Class has equipped me well in leading a small group. Being part of this class has made me appreciate the small group that I am a member and this has also inspired me to lead. I felt encouraged and confident because this class has shown me all the things that I needed to learn to become an effective small group leader and it has embedded in my heart the purpose why we do this.
