Equipping Ministries

I apologize for not updating this post.  I was planning to while at Together for the Gospel Conference and did not.

Pray that each and every ministry at West Cannon Baptist Church would be equipping people to make disciples.
There are two specific ministries you can be praying for now...

• Shepherding Leadership Training begins this Sunday night
• the Biblical Counseling Conference coming in the spring of 2019.  For more info about this go to www.westcannon.org/counseling

Thursday morning at the Together for the Gospel conference Zach and I went to a breakfast/presentation about The Vine Project.   It was a great time of sharing disciple-making helps.  Here are a couple of quotes from the book about disciple-making.

In the New Testament, the proclamation of the word is the basic means for creating and growing ‘Christ-learners’. You could even say that there is only one central activity in making disciples—the speaking of the word of God —and that all the other elements describe in what Spirit, by which people, and in what manner that speaking is done. (84) 

Making disciples is not primarily a human activity with goals that we set (although it is those things in a subsidiary sense). Whatever happens in Christian ministry and in church, and whatever happens in our neighborhoods and families and work places, is part of what God is doing to move all things inexorably towards their goal and end—which is Jesus Christ. (59)

Pray that WCBC would make disciples who make disciples.
Pray that WCBC's ministries would be seen as disciple-making resources.
