Disciplemakers Intensive

This series of interactive in-person sessions is designed to equip mature ministry leaders to grow a new generation of disciples of Jesus Christ.

Vision

To inspire and equip men and women to become lifelong generational disciplemakers who “Know Christ, make him known, and help others do the same.”

Our prayer is that, upon completing this Intensive, participants emerge with a lifelong passion for Life-to-Life Disciplemaking, committed to regularly investing in the lives of others each year. We desire to see this spark momentum across the NYC metro area, spiritually multiplying the gospel among every nation, tribe, people, and language (Revelation 7:9).

Target Audience

Ministry leaders who are passionate about growing as disciples of Jesus and are others-focused, desiring to reach generations and nations through spiritual multiplication. These leaders have displayed a track record of faithfulness in their lives.
