"The goal of DiscipleWay is to make disciples who go out and make disciples, who go out and make
disciples." This point cannot be emphasized too much. Most discipleship programs, curriculum, etc. have the focus of making disciples. Granted, most then propose that the disciples should then make disciples themselves. It is assumed they will make disciples the way they were taught.
Instead of tacking the admonition to be a disciple-maker at the end, DiscipleWay has it at the beginning. "Beginning with the
first disciple of Bible Study, disciples are required to teach elements of the
discipline to someone else. Teaching
inductive Bible study, praying with prayer partners, leading in family worship,
and finding service projects are a few examples of imbedded teaching
assignments throughout the DiscipleWay
curriculum. The final discipline, Leadership, is all about guiding the disciple
as he/she finds someone to lead through DiscipleWay
and providing some supervision and support during the early stages."
