Discipleship

Discipleship
Disciples entrust God’s principals for life to men and women who will receive biblical teaching with the goal of enabling others after they are equipped.

“and what you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also,” – 2 Timothy 2:2

WE ARE LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD MEN AND WOMEN READY TO BE EQUIPPED AS DECIPLERS!!
Safer Communities Ministry staff and volunteers provide the following discipleship tools:
INCARCERATED – LIFE SKILLS

  • Surrendering to the Lord for all areas of life
  • Yielding control to the Lord in an unmanagable life area (addictive things)
