Discipleship Training

---

FAN or FOLLOWER of JESUS

Many churches and denominations started to realize that there is a need for mentorship in spiritual formation; therefore, some churches increase their budgets and staff for mentoring and coaching. Since I love discipleship, this is music to my ears, and it makes my heart beat faster.

Most Christian leaders agree that there is a lack of biblical discipleship in the church today. Most churches focus on evangelism but forget almost entirely about discipleship. Eventually they win some converts but fall short of the Great Commission’s requirement of making disciples not just converts.

When Jesus said, “make disciples,” the apostles understood that Christ’s intent was not simply getting someone to believe in Him (convert them), but to mentor and coach those believers become what Jesus intended them to be (disciple them).

In a nutshell, discipleship is the main purpose and the highest objective of our ministry. 

Upper Room Fellowship Ministry (URFM) provides the environment, the tools, and the teaching through the Advanced Discipleship Training (ADT)—which is an excellent mentoring and coaching platform, so that the Christian discipleship and spiritual growth and maturity process could take place in the lives of interested individuals.

JESUS STILL LOOKING DISCIPLES

Christ asks us: “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.” (Luke 9:2) 

HEART PENETRATING QUESTION:

May I ask you three questions? Thanks! 

Here you go:

(1) Are you hungry for the Word of God? 

(2) Do you desire to become all that God intends for you? 

(3) Are you passionate to let Christ make a difference in you and around you? 

If your response, to one or more of the questions above, is “yes,” we strongly believe that we have a godly solution for you. We highly recommend enrolling as a mathetes—student into the Advanced Discipleship Training (ADT)—an excellent Mentoring and Coaching Platform. 

Mathetes means: “more than a mere pupil or learner. It means an adherer who accepts the instruction given to him and makes it his rule of conduct.” (Spiros Zodhiates, The Complete Word Study Dictionary: New Testament, (AMG International, Chattanooga, TN, 37422, 1993).

Each Module requires reading and studying various materials, interaction with the mentor and with other students/disciples, practical projects, and personal reflection.
