I am currently discipling my children and my next door neighbor. I am also heavily involved in Haiti missions. My children are baptized and teenagers, but young in their beliefs and sanctification. I am looking forward to being a part of their discipling to mature Christians who themselves will disciple to their peers. My neighbor has been in and out of churches in the past, and has a servant heart, but is not a Christian. Over time, through relationship and prayer I have been working to demonstrate Christian principles, but I would like to move forward with next steps of discipling him to know Christ and accept Christ as his savior.

My wife is a great source of personal discipling to me. She is a "prayer warrior" and a committed wife who relies on our marriage to be centered in Christ. She helps me through counsel and in close personal relationship is able to help me grow as a Christian. We both compliment one another and consider Christ as the center of our marriage as Christ works through both of us.

I participated in a bible study in the past, but as a host to my growth group now am focusing studies around our meetings.

I am a physician and run a mission in Haiti which creates a busy schedule; however, before this class was introduced, I have been fervently praying for the Lord to help me become a better disciple maker, to use me in ways that lead people to Him through my work here in Gastonia and through my mission work. I have exposure to many patients in my career and also to missions in Haiti several times per year. I pray with patients daily, but want to have better confidence taking further steps with patients who do not know Christ. Though Haiti missions, I am in a unique position to be a. "lead follower" and I want to have better skills and methods to reach not only people to disciple in Haiti, but those working with me in missions in Haiti and traveling to Haiti. I plan to increase my work in Haiti over the next several years and would like to have a solid foundation in discipling to the Haitians I treat and work with in Haiti.

I think this class would be an excellent opportunity to help me find unique ways to minister directly to my children, directly to my patients, directly to Haitians, and through teaching missionaries traveling under our umbrella to work in Haiti.

Yes. my children who I have talked with and who are agreeable to participate as I work with them.

Salvation: we are saved only through the work of Christ on the cross who died for our sins. We cannot save ourselves by works. By accepting the work of Christ on the cross, repenting of our own sin and accepting Christ as the only way to our Father, we are saved from eternal destruction and rewarded with eternal life. Becoming Christian through salvation allows us to become the extension of the body of His church, and we willingly can be used by the Lord to bring His kingdom. This concept separates Christianity from all other religions and uniquely positions the believer to be completely dependent on the salvation work of Christ to accomplish the Lords work in us personally, throughout the church and world for His benefit.
