Thessalonian Faith

LM-02_A Primer for the One-on-One Discipleship Process

“By God’s grace, and with the enabling of His Spirit, we become more Christlike in ways we could have never imagined.”

“as we make ourselves available to others who also have a heart to pursue Christlikeness and obediently obey His command to “make disciples,” we find ourselves involved in an ever-expanding network of spiritual multipliers whose lives are making a difference in others for eternity.”

— Kenneth Horton

“to equip the saints for works of ministry and to build up the body of Christ, until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ.”

— Ephesians 4:12-13
