General Board Report

Walking by the sea, Jesus invited some fisherman to join him saying, “…follow me” (Matthew 4:19). These words of Jesus foreshadowed a ministry built around discipleship. Near the conclusion of Jesus’ earthly ministry, on the mountain, he said to his followers, “…go and make disciples” (Matthew 28:19). Discipleship “bookended” Jesus’ ministry with everything he did intended to turn his followers into faithful disciples.
