And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust

to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others. II Timothy 2:2

Pray for your disciple. Believe in a person's worth.

Serve your disciple. Model Christ-likeness. Deal with the issues.

How can you begin?Look around you

Pray

Get to know informally

“How would you think about us getting together (weekly, every other week, monthly) just to help one another grow in Christ?”

Decide on a plan

Make small commitments at first (“six weeks”)

Evaluate after “six weeks”
