Discipleship is not usua1ly the exciting popular facet ofa churcJ1 mini try. It may not draw a lot of attention. But it is the quiet teady e sential work designed to lay a lasting foundation for another generation. The fruit of an evangelism ministry may draw instant praise. The fruit of disciple hip take year to develop. But the rewards are forever. Let every Bible-preaching church be committed to the total Great Commission.
