Jesus had a public ministry that was spectacular - big crowds, amazing healings, and outrageous miracles.
But it was his disciples – the guys he walked with, relaxed with, ate with, and shared life with – that ultimately went on to establish the church and change the world.
The point to the story? Real discipleship is about intimacy. It's about authenticity. It's about proximity. It's about accountability.
It's about relationship.
Introducing LIFE
That's why we're so excited to present LIFE - a free youth discipleship resource from The Salvation Army Australia Eastern Territory.
LIFE has been designed specifically to help your youth ministry create, develop and expand healthy culture and community among youth and young adults. We're talking about the kind of community that encourages, strengthens, sharpens and inspires. The kind of community that is life-giving.
LIFE hasn't been concocted in some strange lab or in some dusty professor's office. Everything has been written, edited and scrutinised by people who are actually involved in youth discipleship on a weekly basis - and they're proud to use this resource in their own local contexts as well.
