Overview of Discipleship Essentials

What is Discipleship Essentials?
Discipleship Essentials is a media-assisted, multi-lingual discipleship training tool developed in partnership with organizations from around the world. It is accessible through multi-media platforms with portions based on a curriculum developed by Campus Crusade for Christ. It is intended for open use by organizations, churches, pastors, lay leaders and individuals. 

In many nations where the Gospel has been proclaimed and received, there is a troubling gap between growth in the number of believers and the impact the Church is having on these nations... there is an urgent need for mature, trained disciples!

The vision of Discipleship Essentials is the development of a trained, mature base of Christ-followers as a means to evangelize and disciple the next generation of Christian leaders.
