Making Disciples: Developing Lifelong Followers of Jesus (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781959467533)

Ralph Moore has spent over fifty years as a master maker of disciple makers. Ralph is the founder of the Hope Chapel Movement, which, like Calvary Chapels and the Vineyard churches, came out of the Jesus Movement in Southern California in the early 1970s. Ralph's impact has been unprecedented in the last 50+ years of North American church history. He planted disciple making churches that planted other disciple making churches so that today 2,600+ churches have been planted from the disciple making churches he planted. Many are overseas, now touching every continent.

In Making Disciples, Ralph walks through the simple steps behind this multiplying movement. This book will help you explore important questions such as:

1. Is every Christian called to be a disciple maker?
2. What makes disciple making different from just another program?
3. Whom should I disciple?
4. Who should disciple me?
5. What problems will I encounter along the way?

Ralph helps us rediscover the simple principles and practices that produce disciples who make disciples, who plant churches that plant churches. Along the way, we see how his faithful perseverance in one tiny church has produced multiplying impact to every continent.
