At my first Restart, I heard its slogan – evangelism, discipleship, mission.
And while I was familiar with the concepts of evangelism and mission (even though I never put them into practice), discipleship sounded mysterious and interesting.
I gained a new perspective on Jesus’ relationship with his disciples and the great commission.
Shortly after the Restart, I became part of a team in my city.
One day, one of the ministry leaders suggested we engage in discipleship together.
We started meeting once a week, having breakfast together, talking, and studying the Bible.
This time brought us very close together: in the process, we shared our weaknesses, set goals, memorized Bible verses, and reflected on various topics — from the gifts of the Spirit to financial management.
It was a time of growth that would have been impossible alone, without support and mutual accountability.
And a year later, I suggested meeting like this with a girl from the team and continued the chain of discipleship.
