What does the journey of a disciple actually look like—and how can ministry leaders help young people walk that path with Jesus? This session traces the five key challenges Jesus gives His followers throughout the Gospels—from the initial invitation to 'Come and see' to the commissioning 'I am sending you.' These stages form a clear, biblical pathway of discipleship that can guide both personal growth and ministry strategy. Participants will learn how to use ‘ministry maps’ to align programs, mentoring, and relational investment with each step of Jesus’ model. Through group discussion and practical examples, youth leaders will consider how to shape environments that help young people respond to Jesus’ invitations and grow toward mature, missional faith.
