Real Action A Gentle Revolution “And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” (2 Tim 2:2) multiplying disciples exponentially The What: a ministry designed to reproduce disciples and disciplers exponentially. The Who: serious women of all ages discipling and being discipled by serious women of all ages. The When: three times a month for 105 minutes for one year. The How: a rigorous course of study, prayer, spiritual formation, accountability, and engagement with other women. The Prerequisites: love Jesus and desire to see the church grow as people are introduced to Jesus and strengthened in Jesus. The Rules: fulfill all requirements. No more than two missed meetings permitted (unless providentially hindered). We will honor each other by completing all weekly reading. The Commitment: agree to take on at least one disciple of your own at the end of the year. The Cost: your pride, your self-sufficiency, your persisting sin, your time (and the cost of the books).1 The Payoff: a church full of women who are disciples of Christ, conducting themselves in a manner worthy of the gospel (Phil. 1:27) and training other women to be reverent, biblically sound, disciple-making women (Titus 2:1, 3-5, 11-15) for God’s glory (Psalm 145). 1 Scholarships will be made available should a need arise.
