About the Intentional Discipleship Network

We seek to serve the Church of Jesus Christ around the world by networking local churches with ministries, individuals and resources that seek to faithfully advance the fulfillment of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20).

Notice: The Intentional Discipleship Network (USA) is no longer an active ministry. All our resources are now devoted to the success of T-Net International and the newly formed school Teleo University.

"Equipping the Church for Intentional Discipleship"

 

Our Mission:

To equip and mobilize church members for the work of ministry in fulfilling the great commission of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19-20).

 

The Vision:

We want to help change the course of history. Just as the first Reformation returned God's Word to the people of the church we long to see a New Reformation where ministry is returned to the people of the church--an equipped, mature and mobilized body of disciples serving together in unity. Years from now we desire that people will say, "That was when ministry was put back into the hands of all members of the church resulting in the mobilized Body of Christ (His Church) reaching the whole of humanity."

 

Core Ojectives:   

  • Exploring Christ  We want to help spiritual seekers meet Jesus Christ and experience forgiveness and new life in Him.

  • Embracing Christ  We want to help new believers connect with other Christ-followers in a local church and teach them basic truths of the faith.

  • Established in Christ We want Christians to become faithful followers of Christ and grow to maturity in their faith.

  • Equipped for Christ We want Christians to serve God by serving others with the gifts and talents God has given them.

  • Empowered for Christ We want to develop leaders who will impact our world for Christ by making and multiplying disciples.
