Did you know that 34% of pastors believe discipleship is the greatest problem facing the world’s future, compared to only 10% of their congregation? This gap reveals a critical disconnect between pastors and their church members when it comes to discipleship.
Consider these statistics:
- 83% of pastors say making disciples is a calling for all Christians.
- Only 51% of Christians agree, and 25% believe it’s a mandate for all.
- Shockingly, two-thirds of U.S. Christians have never heard of the Great Commission.
The Great Commission calls all believers to go and make disciples, but pastors need support in creating a culture of discipleship within their congregations. That’s where Developing Workers comes in.
We’re passionate about equipping pastors to bridge this gap and foster a discipleship culture that transforms lives. True disciples of Jesus are called to follow Him with ALL of their lives by:
- Obedience: Submitting to God’s grace and truth.
- Local Church: Gathering regularly with a body of believers to worship, grow through God’s Word, and do life together.
- Mission: Making disciples of all nations.
When pastors are empowered to disciple their churches effectively, they unleash believers to live out the Great Commission—making disciples who make disciples. Together, we can fulfill this mandate and transform communities around the world.
