Disciple-Making: Connecting to Community

The objective of this book is disciple-making from the Acts of the Apostles in an effort to restore the teaching of Jesus in making disciples. Acts is the greatest manual we have on making disciples. Luke details what "Jesus began to do and teach" while making disciples who make disciples (Acts 1:1). It explains how to become a disciple of Jesus and be involved in the disciple movement. Today is a significant time to help people emotionally and spiritually by accepting the teaching and practices of Jesus Christ. The first disciples participated in making disciples, planting congregations to praise God in worship, and going into community service. In this setting, the body of Christ needs revival teaching principles of reaching man with the gospel of Christ through personal teaching. Relational Bible Study is a teaching method to persuade people to follow Jesus as a disciple in all aspects of life. Roger E.
