About Us
  To facilitate the Body of Christ and complement local churches by providing basic discipleship training and studies in a practical format while creating an exciting and life-changing learning experience. The admonition of Christ given to us in Matthew 28:16–20...Go into all the world an preach the gospel!  
 

There are four commands mentioned in these verses...(1) go, (2) teach, (3) baptize, and (4) make disciples. However, only one of these is an imperative command in the Greek..."to make disciples!" In other words, making disciples is given greater emphasis and priority.

Therefore, the Great Commission can be accurately stated this way...As you go into all the world – teaching and baptizing – make disciples!     

The New Testament word for disciple mean "taught or learned one." The implication being expressed in the Greek is defined as "serious thought accompanied by aggressive endeavor." In other words, a disciple was not just a pupil, but an adherent (and an "imitator" of the teacher). It is therefore the passion and purpose of John 8:31 Ministries to create true disciples – not merely decisions!
