FG Disciple
FG Disciple is a training aimed at equipping disciples of Jesus to make disciples of Jesus. In Jesus' parting words at the end of Matthew, he left His church with a mission.

This training is for every follower of Jesus and will equip you to disciple your kids, your neighbors, your co-workers, and your friends.
As followers of Jesus, we are called to imitate Jesus, to become like him. Disciple focuses on 6 character and competencies of Jesus.

We are all disciples of something and all discipling someone, it is just a matter of who and what. So, come and grow as a disciple of Jesus and as a disciple-maker in God’s invading kingdom.
