This Book Is for You Everyone a Disciple-Maker By Chad J. Erickson

One life. Many faithful people.

You have a part in making disciples. This book helps you explore your strengths and put them to work in everyday life.

GATHERERS / CONNECTORS / EDUCATORS

Different contributions. One shared purpose.

THREE ROLES. ONE SHARED MISSION.

You do not need a platform or a ministry title to take part. The book explores three ways ordinary believers contribute.

Invite someone in.

Reach out, invite others and introduce people to Jesus—in everyday conversations as well as church gatherings.

Turn welcome
into belonging.

Build relationships through hospitality, worship, service and friendship. Help people find their place in the church community.

Teach. Mentor.
Encourage.

Explain Scripture, mentor others and equip people to follow Jesus. It can begin with a Bible study or a conversation with a friend.

These roles work together. Your primary strengths are a starting point; you can grow and serve in more than one.
