To turn converts into disciples.
…take up the cross, and follow me. ( Mark 10:21 )
The Greek word for “disciple”: mathetes when directly translated, means learner.
God is not just calling us to be church members but He is calling us to a lifelong relationship with him, where we learn from him and purpose to be fully like Him, therefore, making a deliberate decision to become a fully-fledged disciple of Jesus Christ.
