Testimony Time!
Greetings, TTC Partners!
Today we are sharing a testimony of one of the DMM pastors from the Philippines, Pastor Chris, whose personal life and church ministry have both been transformed by the process of intentional discipleship Take the Challenge uses in all our disciple-makers groups.
He says, “Personally, intentional discipleship has made me become more responsible and intentional in my daily devotion and prayer life, and I have learned that spiritual growth does not happen accidentally—it happens when we allow ourselves to be consistently shaped by God through His Word, prayer, and accountability.
“As a pastor, intentional discipleship has also changed the way I see ministry. Before, I was sometimes content with simply having church attendees or church workers. But now, I am beginning to see not just leaders in the church, but true disciples who can also disciple others. It reminds me that the mission of the church is not only to gather people, but to grow people—so they can become mature followers of Christ [who] help others follow Him too.
“In our church, I can clearly see many improvements in those who are under intentional discipleship. They are becoming more hungry and interested in studying the Word of God. Some who used to be quiet and not very expressive are now more confident because of the regular interaction, sharing, and encouragement within the discipleship process. Others have started building a daily devotional life, and many have become more committed, faithful, and involved in our church’s ministries.
“Intentional discipleship is not only producing activity—it is producing transformation. It is helping shape believers into disciples, and disciples into disciple-makers who are building a stronger future for the Kingdom of God.
“That’s my testimony, and To God be All the Glory!”
