For many postgraduates, the years after leaving college are disorienting. Between moving cities, entering the workforce, or getting married and starting a family — suddenly, life gets busy. With so much change, it can be hard to form deep relationships, and it is easy to slip into loneliness, anxiety, or burnout. Between juggling new responsibilities and navigating the shifting waters of adulthood, oftentimes the priority of making disciples takes a back seat.

That’s why, in the bustling city of Nashville, Navigators are finding new ways to connect those in their 20s to mentorship and community, as well as re-engaging them to be disciplemakers right where they are. Hosting weekly meal nights and pairing young adults with spiritual mentors across the city, the Navigators 20s ministry provides a space for like-minded believers to connect, grow, and be equipped to share the gospel in everyday life.

“We are hoping that they can connect with friends in this community who aren’t just focused on survival, but who see their role in the larger story that God is writing,” Dave Bachman, the Nashville Navigators city director, says.

“We’re not lowering the bar — we are challenging them to all that God has called them to. We are asking them to not just think about themselves and how they are doing, but to press on, considering how to invest in others.”

This past year, Nashville Navigators have discovered a new and innovative way to invite postgraduates to pour into those younger than them: the Disciplemaking Volunteer (DMV) group at Belmont University — a team of postgraduates who commit to mentoring college students one-on-one.

Creating Discipleship Opportunities at Belmont University

Isaac Haight first joined The Navigators when he was invited to a Navigators 20s night after moving back to Nashville post college. A young professional working in a corporate environment, Isaac was involved with the 20s ministry for over three years before feeling called to leave his job to serve in a ministry role.

“When I was in the workplace, I was wrestling with a conviction that I felt like I was wasting my time,” Isaac remembers. “I felt like the Lord had been calling me into vocational ministry and that I wasn’t doing what I was made to do. So I ended up quitting my job after I came home from a mission trip — the rest is history.”

Having connections with The Navigators, Isaac ended up on staff and re-pioneering a campus ministry at Belmont University in Nashville — a collegiate ministry that took a hard hit during the pandemic. Over the past couple of years, Isaac and his wife, Caitlin, have been building up the ministry, and Isaac now serves as the campus director.

As the ministry at Belmont started to grow, Isaac realized that he needed some help — and an idea struck him. What if he could mobilize the young adults in The Navigators 20s ministry to step up, volunteer, and help provide one-on-one discipleship for local college students?

“Because I used to be a participant in Navigators 20s before I came on staff, I knew what the ministry was about, and it felt like a natural connection,” Isaac says. “Navigators 20s isn’t a youth group for young professionals — it’s a space for emboldening, encouraging, and giving them opportunities to actually serve and disciple others. So I knew that offering them a chance to disciple college students would be a ‘hand in glove’ type of situation.”

Presenting his idea and need for help at a Navigators 20s meeting, Isaac asked if anyone would be willing to volunteer to disciple students. Suddenly, he had a team of seven volunteers — all full-time workers who were ready and excited to give their time to mentor those younger than them. This was the beginning of the Disciplemaking Volunteer (DMV) group at Belmont University.

The Disciplemaking Volunteers’ Impact

This past year, Isaac paired up his DMV team with individual students and watched as the Lord grew their relationships with each other and their faith. Each DMV volunteer is paired and meets with at least one student, and then the group comes together once a month to gather and share how their disciplemaking journey is going.

For one volunteer, Jaden, the DMV has been an opportunity to not just disciple one student, but two. A young professional with an 8-5 corporate job, Jaden has been intentionally pursuing Jack and Zach in the midst of a busy work schedule, meeting with each guy every other week.

Over the course of a year, Jaden has walked both students through the book of Titus, and he has watched as their lives have been transformed by the gospel. Jack and Zach have each caught a vision for discipleship, becoming more involved with the campus ministry and developing a heart for passing on their faith to others. Zach has even taken the additional step to join The Navigators leadership team at Belmont, accepting the challenge to disciple someone else.

Jaden’s story is just one example of how the Lord has worked through the DMV group at Belmont, and it is a glimpse into the bigger picture of how young professionals can have disciplemaking impact in spaces where there is a need — on college campuses and workplaces alike.

As the DMV team moves into their second year, Isaac and Justin McCoy (the director of Navigators 20s in Nashville) is looking to recruit 20 more young professional volunteers to disciple college students, expanding the impact at Belmont.

“We might only ever have 10 volunteers — but if we have 10 every year, we’re teaching disciples to make disciples,” Isaac says. “That’s how God’s Kingdom grows exponentially. And just think — if other cities did this … what would it look like to have a ministry of 200 young professionals connected with 200 college students?”

Navigators 20s: Merging Community and Calling

The Navigators 20s ministry in Nashville shows what it looks like to merge community and calling, giving young professionals a space to develop alongside others and learn what it means to pursue Christ in real-world environments.

“I love the idea of starting these little fires that spread in different directions, catalyzing everyday people to minister where they live, work, play, worship, and study,” Dave says. “People tend to come to the 20s ministry with a felt need for community and connection, and we provide that, but we are also calling them to a higher purpose and mission.”

Join us in praying for the DMV ministry in Nashville as 20-somethings are discipling college students, as well as the Navigators 20s ministry across the country as they encourage, inspire, and equip young professionals to spread the gospel right where they are.

Discipleship Tip:

Isaac was able to rally volunteers to help disciple college students not only because college students needed mentors, but because 20-somethings needed a place to serve. Is there anyone around you that would be willing and interested to be more involved in ministry or discipleship, but are seeking an opportunity? Think about how you can bring others into your mission field, inviting and equipping them to make a difference.

These weren’t the words Alan expected to hear while he was visiting the extended family of his newlywed wife, Maddie*, but he was intrigued. Mitch is Maddie’s cousin, and he’d attended Alan and Maddie’s wedding earlier in the year. At the wedding, Alan and Maddie made sure that Christ was at the center, showing the role that faith has had in their relationship. 

As one of the few people Mitch knew — other than his grandmother — whose faith was transformative, Mitch often turned to Alan for questions regarding Jesus. Curious to learn more about where Mitch was at in his spiritual journey, Alan asked him, “Why was it important to your grandmother that you get baptized?”

“I guess I can’t say all the reasons, but Jesus was important to her,” Mitch replied.

“Is it important to you to get baptized?” Alan asked. 

“Yeah,” Mitch said. “I mean I want to keep my promise to her, but I don’t just want to go through the motions. I want it to mean something.”

Alan asked Mitch if he had ever read the Bible for himself to learn about what Jesus said and did. When Mitch confirmed that he hadn’t, Alan invited him to start reading the Bible with him.

Becoming a Disciple

Alan had a background with The Navigators, being involved with the ministry in his college years. During that time, Alan saw rapid fruit in his own life and the lives of those he was investing in. It was this foundation that gave him a vision for disciplemaking after college, and now he translates what he learned as a student to his post-grad life and relationships. 

It was this mindset that guided Alan as he started to read the Bible with Mitch. Going through one chapter of John at a time, they would meet over Zoom or the phone to discuss what they read each week. After reading through the whole book together, Mitch started to ask about the meaning of the gospel.

Alan’s faithfulness with his cousin-in-law soon bore fruit — Mitch accepted Christ into his life!

However, since Mitch gave his life to Christ, he’s been faced with challenges. Shortly after his commitment to Christ, Mitch’s father’s health began to decline. Much of Mitch’s time was devoted to being a caregiver, until eventually, his father passed away. 

In light of the difficult time, Alan continued to encourage Mitch in his faith. 

Understandably, Mitch was less available and responsive in the midst of this trying season. Alan acknowledged that he’s had to change his own expectations for the pace at which Mitch will grow in his faith. Alan watched Mitch grow from a nonbeliever to a disciple; yet, he still has a vision to see Mitch become a disciplemaker too, passing on his faith to others.

When Alan started to read the Bible with Mitch, Mitch mentioned that his two younger siblings also have a desire to get baptized. Alan’s prayer is that eventually Mitch might start reading the Bible with his younger siblings, much like Alan did with him. 

Alan recognizes that God is working in and through Mitch. Though he’s in a difficult season, he has the potential to bear new and different fruit, and God will no doubt continue to use Alan’s patience and faithful presence as the Lord continues the work He has begun in Mitch’s life. 

Walking Through Open Doors To the Gospel

Sometimes, God opens doors for the gospel right in front of people around us, and all they need is to walk through. Often they are eager — they just need some guidance from those that have gone before them. 

Alan and Mitch’s story is just one of the stories of open doors happening within the Navigators 20s ministry. Around the nation, Navigators are helping equip young adults as they share the gospel with their friends, coworkers, and families. 

Would you join us in praying for Alan, Mitch, and Mitch’s siblings as they continue to walk towards Christ together? Pray that the Lord continues to open doors to the gospel and equip believers to share their faith with others, helping them to reveal Jesus’ character through reading the Bible with those in their circles. 

*names have been changed

Discipleship Tip:

Think of someone you could ask to read the Bible with you who may not have read it before. Share this name with someone you trust and ask them to pray with you for this person. Take the next courageous step and invite this person you thought of to read the Bible with you and see how God guides you next.

The glow of thousands of faces lights up the room, a powerful testament to the spread of the gospel from generation to generation. 

This was one of the many special moments from The Navigators 2023 National Staff Gathering.

Last month, over 1,300 Navigator staff came together in Irving, Texas. The theme of the weekend was Heartbeat: A Vital Movement of the Gospel, focusing on 2 Timothy 2:1-2: “Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others” (NIV).

The gathering held five plenary sessions, which were designed to inspire, uplift, and challenge staff attendees to continue the work to which they’ve been called. Staff heard insights on the Lord’s vision for grace, necessary aspects of prayer, and how He works through each and every one of us to reach the nations and spread His mission.  

Staff members also enjoyed times of fun and laughter, along with encouraging ministry stories from new and old friends, breakouts to equip and multiply disciplemakers, precious times of prayer and worship, and motivational messages from fellow Navigators and international leaders. 

For many, the National Staff Gathering was a reminder of why they became Navigators — to be a part of a vital movement of the gospel by connecting, resourcing, and developing everyday disciplemakers. 

Though this conference looked back over the past four years since our last National Staff Gathering, we also took time to look forward to the work that is ahead of us as a ministry. You can partner with us as we continue this work for years to come! 

Pray that the Lord works through The Navigators to reach the unreached and create new disciplemakers. Come alongside us to spread the gospel and disciple those in your circles, from family members to coworkers to neighbors and beyond.

Whether you serve on staff or through your everyday life, we are excited to see how the Lord moves through this next season of ministry!

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16 (NIV).

Discipleship Tip:  

Pull out your phone and find a photo of someone you’re discipling or have discipled. Pray for that person and reach out to offer them encouragement.

Listen in on the conversation with Alice Matagora, author of How to Save the World: Disciplemaking Made Simple as she chats with five disciplemakers to hear what disciplemaking looks like in their daily lives.

In this video, Alice and her friends discuss ways they’re reaching neighbors, friends, and coworkers by inviting them to follow Jesus, too.

When we read the gospels and observe Jesus’ life and ministry we most often notice what he did for the crowds.

He taught them, fed them, healed them, and even John noted that if every work Jesus did while on this earth was written down, the world could not contain the books that would be written (John 21:25). There’s no question that Jesus had and still has a heart for the world! 

Because of that, it comes as a surprise to many that amidst all that Jesus did for the masses He spent approximately 85% of His time with just 12 men.

It wasn’t because of a lack of care for the masses that Jesus focused on the few…but rather quite the opposite!

Jesus focused on the few for the sake of the many! His method for reaching the world was through building deeply into a select few and teaching them to do the same.

Jesus loved everyone, helped many, but invested in just a few. If we hope to take the gospel to the ends of the earth His method must also become our method.

“Ask God to give you one.” The same challenge that Dawson Trotman gave to Les Spencer in 1933 that started The Navigators can be our starting point today.

That’s when Zach*, one of these soccer players Nate first met through a community league, started to introduce him to others at school. It was through soccer and his first connection with Zach that this group of soccer-loving high school guys brought Nate into their group. 

“They didn’t even know Jesus, but saw someone who didn’t know anyone, like a lost puppy, and wanted to bring me into their group,” Nate shared. “I think it shows a lot of maturity for freshmen in high school.”

Nate wasn’t sure how they would respond, but knew he couldn’t just say he followed Jesus and not live it out every day.

“I can’t just go to church on Sundays and profess I know Jesus as the most important Person in my life and not share that,” Nate said. “I would ask myself, How could I talk about Jesus and the Bible in a way these guys would find interesting?”

So Nate got creative. 

“Crazy” Bible Stories at a Bonfire 

One night in high school, he and his friends had a bonfire where Nate shared crazy stories from the Bible, like the story of Ehud and King Eglon from Judges 3.

“I shared this Bible story and how Ehud stabbed Eglon and the sword went right into his belly, including all the details guys appreciate. My friends looked surprised and responded, ‘That’s in the Bible?!’” Nate laughed as he shared. “Yeah, it’s a crazy story from the Bible!’ Sometimes when it’s weird it appeals to guys.”

Nate didn’t want to water down God’s truth, but to meet his friends where they were, making the Bible relatable to their interest. 

These friends heard more than a crazy Bible story from Nate, they saw a guy who made counter-cultural choices. His life spoke to them, too. But to Nate it seemed like very little was happening in his friends’ hearts. 

Nate’s parents had modeled to him from an early age what it looked like to be an everyday disciple. They emphasized the intrinsic, infinite value of each person and reminded him to treat them as such. 

Teaching Your Kids to Share Their Faith

Kent Schellhause, a Navigators 20s leader in the Cincinnati area and Nate’s dad, would say the most important preposition in discipleship is “with.”

“I was led to Christ my freshman year by a Navigators staff named Charlie Green. For the next four years I was not just taught how to walk with Jesus and minister to others, but Charlie did it with me,” shared Kent. “The ‘with Him’ principle based on Mark 3:14 was part of my DNA because of my involvement with The Navigators and Charlie’s example.”

Kent and his wife Jill both came to Christ through Navigators Collegiate and eventually had three kids, who all chose to be involved in Navigators Collegiate during their college years.

Kent constantly instilled in Nate what was important in life. It’s remembering those conversations that bring Nate back into focus when his priorities get rearranged. 

“I think my dad’s biggest spiritual investment in me was instilling the value of spiritual investment in my own life,” Nate shared. “He always said we should be investing in the only two things that have eternal value on earth: the Word of God and people’s souls. This is such an important reminder as I get caught up in the complexity of everyday life.” 

Kent and Jill allowed the “with Him” principle to guide how they discipled their children. Ministry wasn’t something they did solely as a couple. Their family was involved in ministry and they followed Christ together. 

“We had quiet times with the kids; we prayed with the kids; we went on missions trips with them; and did Bible study with them,” Kent shared. “In most of our Navigator career, Jill and I made it a priority to include our children and their friends and those friends’ parents in our everyday life and ministry, primarily families who did not know Jesus yet. Hopefully our children saw an example of what a disciple is through my and Jill’s life.”

How To Take the Pressure off When It Comes to Evangelism

Fast forward 20 years later and you’ll find Nate and his soccer friends married and starting families and still an intentional community. 

Today, this group seeks the Lord together and many of them have accepted Christ and been baptized. Nate was surprised at the change of heart that happened when he moved out of state. 

“I remember asking God, ‘Hey God, I’ve been praying for these guys for 15 years and it’s when I leave and am not a part of their everyday lives that I see more fruit from their lives?’” Nate shared. “It was then that they started going to church. It was a good reminder for me that it is all Jesus. He’s the One who pursues and transforms their hearts, not me.”

With Nate back in the Cincinnati area now, the guys meet every other week and their wives on the opposite weeks. At times this involves Bible study and other times a discussion topic, while rotating facilitators. One of these friends, Bryan*, is even a part of the Navigators 20s which they now have coined the Nav 30s because of the group’s longevity. 

“Ultimately, I come back to my dad’s advice of investing in the Word of God and in people. I know if I really believe this is most important then this is how I should spend my time,” Nate shared. “My dad has emulated this in his life and I have tried to copy his example in mine.”

Pray for The Navigators 20s ministry in Cincinnati and the Schellhause family who continues to invest in spiritual generations.

Thomas called Katrin to see how she was doing a few months after the end of the Bible study. As they talked, he explained more about new life in Jesus. She was ready and excited to start following Jesus as a disciple. Since the Bible study was with people in the San Diego area and Katrin lived in the Bay Area, Thomas checked with local Navigators to find someone to disciple Katrin.

Lei Muse was ready and willing when she was asked. “I didn’t even need to pray about it. My husband, Don (who is on Navigators staff), and I were discipled, and I knew the importance of discipleship. I was a little apprehensive since we had never met, but I trusted God to work out our relationship.”

The two women have been meeting since February and Katrin is soaking in God’s Word, praying, and reaching out to friends. She is seeing God at work, “I was laid off from my retail job during the pandemic and I started praying about a career change. Now I work for the state in the Employment Development Division. I see purpose in my job, so I can help people over the hurdles that I encountered when I was unemployed. I’m sure God was working in my life before, but I didn’t see it. Now my eyes and ears are open to all the ways He is active.”

As she made her plans, God was also at work, leading her to discover a Navigators Bible study group in college. During a Navigators spring break trip as a freshman, Caitlin felt drawn by the Holy Spirit and accepted Christ in her life and started learning how to live as a disciple. However, after being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease her senior year, her plans to pursue a career in medicine were suddenly put on hold. It was at this time that she was invited to join staff with The Navigators. After college graduation, she joined staff and moved to University of Alabama in 2010.

As her love for God and compassion for helping people continued to grow, Caitlin also started struggling with anxiety and depression, primarily related to her chronic disease.  She had seen other members of her family struggling with mental health as well. Sadly, in her family and the broader Christian community no one talked about the need to treat mental health issues.

After years of fruitful, full-time ministry while ignoring her own mental health, Caitlin started experiencing burnout, which in turn made her anxiety increase. One of her supporters realized Caitlin was struggling and offered to pay to send her to receive counseling to help with her mental health. This was good start, but while continuing to serve on staff at University of Alabama, Caitlin’s anxiety was so high that it resulted in panic attacks.

The Navigators campus director noticed the struggles Caitlin was having and advised her to move to Colorado Springs for a summer so she could receive counseling and care at the Navigators headquarters. She was able to meet regularly with the pastoral care team, who saw how deep the problem was. Eventually they advised her not to go back to Alabama and begin a journey of healing in Colorado Springs.

As Caitlin experienced healing she was reminded of Psalm 40:1-3: “I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.  He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the LORD and put their trust in him.”

It was in that healing season that Caitlin and her friend Matthew, who is part of Cru, created a mental health “roadmap.” The roadmap was created when Caitlin was invited to do a workshop for the Navigators 20s to help understand mental health from a Christian perspective.

The allegory in the mental health roadmap covers four common places on the journey of mental health: despair, tension, care, and hope.

• “Swamp of Despair” where she shares her personal story and symptoms of all-consuming anxiety.
• “Forests of Tension” which acknowledges the complex questions that Christians wrestle with such as, “Are mental health issues sin or are they biological?”
• “Meadows of Care” where they discuss the various kinds of spiritual and professional help that exist for those who struggle with mental health issues.
• “Mountains of Hope” where Caitlin shows how the Gospel brings “altitude” and perspective on mental health.

Using this roadmap as a guide, Caitlin has been able to encourage many who struggle with mental health. She is now on staff with her husband at Texas State University and sees firsthand the increased levels of mental health issues students are facing. Caitlin’s main ministry is serving with the pastoral care team to help staff experience Jesus amid their mental health struggles.

God has used her struggle to help others as she continues to grow in the understanding of Psalm 40:1-3 and experience freedom and peace.

Mental health is now being talked about more openly and there is hope for those who are overwhelmed and may not know where to turn. If you or a friend struggle with anxiety or depression, pray for them and share this article with them. The Navigators also has additional resources for mental health issues.

When Tra left, Tim asked Chris, “How do you know Tra?”

Chris answered, “We got in a big fight back in high school at a house party.”

Reflecting on the encounter, Tim shares, “It was clear that for both of them, they had moved from darkness to light. They were different people now, following Jesus, than they had been in high school.”

Tim met regularly with a small group of men studying the Bible together (pre-pandemic). Then small groups moved from indoors to parks, which works well in San Diego with favorable weather.

One day last summer, the Bible study Tra is part of was in a park doing a study on reconciliation and forgiveness. The diverse group of men were digging into Scripture for God’s wisdom, during a time when our country was continuing to grapple with racism and unrest. Chris happened to be walking his dog in the park and stopped to say hello to Tim and Tra. Someone in the study asked how they knew each other.

Tra responded, “We got in a fight at a party in high school.” Then he stood up and greeted Chris, giving him a big hug. They exchanged words of acceptance and forgiveness. And the group was able to see God’s Word lived out, in real life, where reconciliation is possible through following Jesus.

Tim shared, “It seemed like a significant moment, there in the park, as we were studying God’s Word on the topic of reconciliation and forgiveness. I decided to take a picture and capture the difference the Good News makes in everyday life!”

Both Chris and Tra continue living out faith in daily life. Chris is growing as a disciple of Jesus, not only applying God’s Word to his own life, but reaching out to friends and family with the Good News. Tra coaches an Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) youth basketball team called FAB—Faith and Basketball. He intentionally disciples the boys weekly at practices, prays and reads the Word with them, and most of all encourages them in their everyday life.

The men involved with Navigators 20s in San Diego are modeling that the Good News of Jesus truly is life changing.

Pray for those who are bringing the truth of Jesus and life transformation to Navigators 20s where they live, work, and play.

Along with fellow staff Oliver and Carolyn Porter, the Williamses watched as God provided the next generation of leaders through the natural process of Life-to-Life^® discipleship.

“Sara and I met Dianna Perkins when she was in college with our daughter,” Denny says. “We loved her, welcomed her into our family, and encouraged her in her faith. After graduation, Dianna married Scott and they joined the 20s ministry we were building in the Detroit metro area.”

As the Williamses built the ministry, they also intentionally invested in Scott and Dianna spiritually and as leaders.

“Denny and Sara gave us a safe space to stretch ourselves,” Scott says. “They gave us opportunities to grow in leading people to delve deeper into their relationship with Christ.”

Pioneering & Passing the Baton at Wayne State University

Around the same time, the Williamses were getting to know Oliver and Carolyn as they pioneered Navigators Collegiate at Wayne State University (WSU).

That’s where the Porters met student Lawrence Robinson, the first young man Oliver helped grow as a disciple at WSU. “Oliver reached out to me a couple months after I gave my life to Christ,” Lawrence says. “I was able to ask questions, to share what I was going through on a weekly basis, and to learn to trust God in big life decisions. It was amazing, and I wanted to share that with my friends.”

After graduation, Lawrence married his college sweetheart, Sheniece, who was also part of WSU Navigators, and they too got involved with the 20s ministry. The relay team was building.

Reaching the 20’s Generation for Christ in Detroit

With the Williamses stepping aside from direct leadership of the Navigators 20s ministry in Detroit, the Robinsons and Perkinses were asked to take the lead in continuing to reach and equip more young adults in their 20s with the gospel.

“Things have moved a little slow, but we are trusting God’s timing,” Lawrence says. “For any of us, making it through our tumultuous 20s is only by the grace of God. The most important relationship we can build during that time is with Christ. Growing in Christ and being able to pass it onto the next generation is so vital.”

Kristie Monteiro, Detroit City Leader, is excited to see these couples’ stories unfold. “Much of their discipleship and development has been within a team approach across the City work, and that has given them all a wider and deeper ministry,” Kristie says. “Growing local leaders and disciplemakers goes at the speed of life, as we walk alongside people through many seasons.”

Denny is thrilled to see God raising up another generation of leaders. “This is a wonderful picture of what happens when all the ministries of The Navigators work together in our city ministry.”

Oliver is also excited to see the next generation take the ministry forward. “I ran track throughout college,” Oliver says. “In a relay, everyone had to do their part for the next person to do their part. The idea of passing the baton is something I think about a lot. How can I smoothly pass the baton from one generation to another?”

In racing, there two kinds of relay baton exchanges—a “blind exchange” and an “open exchange.”

“In a blind exchange, the person receiving the baton is not looking at the one passing it to them,” Oliver says. “In an open exchange, the communication lines are open. There is encouragement and it brings the team together. Life-to-Life^® discipleship is the open exchange.”

Pray that God will continue to raise up the next generation of everyday disciplemakers all over the world.
