How can we practically make disciples for other Christians?

Joining and engaging with the community

1. Join a church.
2. Arrive before the church meeting begins and stay after it ends.
3. Practice hospitality with members of your church.
4. Ask God for strategic friendship.

Financial and organizational planning

5. If possible, set aside funds in your family or pastoral budget for regular meetings with other Christians: Discuss this with your spouse. If possible, budget for this for your spouse as well.
6. Schedule regular breakfasts, lunches, or other culturally friendly activities with those who are willing to learn (of the same gender): Depending on the person, you may decide to meet once, indefinitely, or a set number of times (say, five). If you and the person have a common hobby, look for ways to spend it together.

Quality of communication and example

7. Ask about their lives: Learn more about their parents, spouse, children, faith, work, relationship with Christ, etc. However, when asking questions, do so in a way that is appropriate for your cultural context (don’t scare them!).
8. Tell me about your life.
9. Look for opportunities for spiritual conversations: Perhaps you can read the Bible or some other Christian literature together.
10. Consider their physical or material needs: Will they benefit from your help?
11. Pray with them.
12. Invite them to your home or spend time with them in your family circle: Let them see how you live your daily life.
