THE DEVELOPMENTAL

PROCESS OF DISCIPLESHIP

Session Four

Session Four Objectives

• To observe Jesus’ method of personal discipleship

• To provide a practical, natural paradigm for personal discipleship

• To demonstrate the reproductive nature of personal discipleship

[This book] is an effort to see controlling principles governing the movements of the

Master in hope that our own labors might be conformed to a similar pattern. One might call it a study in his strategy of evangelism

around which his life was oriented while he walked on the earth.
