I attend a small church located in the middle of an inner-city neighborhood in Shreveport, Louisiana. The congregation averages about 25 members, of which about 15 regularly attend service. Demographically, church attendees are primarily: Black women, ages 16-42, single-parent families, low income, no high school or college education. Most were not raised in the church, so currently their biblical perception is one of individuality. The pastor is a 60-year-old woman of rural origin. He has the equivalent of a fourth grade education with no theological training. His faith is unequivocal and he has a love and passion for the Church that can sometimes seem a little neurotic. His church foundation is based on old school Pentecostal/Apostolic faith. So, his message is harsh. It is evident that God's anointing made up for the lack of education. She was gifted with the gift of Wisdom and Knowledge. It's quite impressive how God gives her his revelatory insight. The vision that God has given to the pastor for this particular ministry is to: spread the Gospel to all nations, train disciples for the continuity of the Message and self-improvement. How can a small church with few resources accomplish this mission? How can this ministry become motivated enough to move away from individualistic ideology and progress towards solidarity? My suggestion: prepare disciples and define and implement holistic ministry. One of the main missions of the church is to bear witness to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Before his physical death, Christ recruited men to carry out his message. “Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Mt 4:19). These fishers of men would become known as disciples. The term disciple derives from the Greek mathētēs, which means pupil or pupil. It is even suggested that some ancients believed that a disciple imitated the life of his master. If we the Church want to become "fishers of men", then we must respond to the call of personal commitment. How can we lead others to Christ if we don't know him? The first step in becoming a disciple is developing a personal relationship with Christ.
