Caring and Growing
It’s so encouraging during missions, evangelistic services and of course everyday life when people give their lives to Jesus. As Christians we are elated by this, and rightly so. However, six months or two years later, where are these new Christians to be found? Statistically very few are rooted and growing healthily in local churches. Too often they have rarely been seen since the occasion they made their commitment. Of course, our faithful God goes on working in their lives. Sometimes individuals actively decide not to engage with us, but that does not have to be the end of the story.
For our part, however, there are things that we could do to better to facilitate integrating believers into church life. Often there is no lack of goodwill or desire to do this, but we need practical help. The purpose of these handbooks is to put some tools in your hands, and to reduce as much as possible the unnecessary falling away of new Christians.
We pray you will find something helpful, even inspirational, in these resources to help you disciple new Christians and have something to give new Christians to aid them in their fabulous journey.
