Jonathan Robbins, Catalyst of the Local Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, encourages pastors to keep disciple-making as the main focus of everything you do. It is easy for a church to get busy doing a number of things without being effective at disciple-making.

Dan Brindley, Pastor of CrossPoint Church in Farmingdale, New Jersey, shares a unique approach to making disciple-makers in your church. Often times, the focus of making disciple-makers is on the longest standing members of a church. What if you focused on those who are new followers of Christ? Those are the people who may have the most connectivity to the outside world, who can better understand the culture and struggles of those you are trying to reach. Equip new believers with the tools they need to become effective disciple-makers for Christ.
