Calling All Disciples.
Teens aren't looking for fancy denominations or strict titles. They’re searching for someone a few steps ahead, a guide they can relate to.
I've seen this first-hand when I visit schools for discipleship through CU. Teens naturally drift toward where they see guidance. If the CA/ Muslim fraternity has no mentor in sight, they often cross over to CU, simply because there's an "elder" over there who seems to know a bit more about life and faith.
So here’s the ABCD plan – it’s as simple as it sounds and only takes about 2 hours of your week:
- Adopt a school.
- Befriend a patron or principal.
- Congregate with them.
- Discipleship unfolds over time.
ABCD – it works wonders, trust me!
Now, today a friend reminded me that maybe this calling isn't just for all of us. After being called "mzae" twice in one week (yes, I’m coming to terms with it!), it’s clear the young folks have the energy, the passion, and can preach a sermon from every line in the New Testament. But for those of us who might be slowing down just a little, discipleship in schools could be a refreshing way to stay active.
Ultimately, do what pleases the Lord. If He nudges you to take this on, jump in ASA-NT (As Soon As Next Term)!
