Feed My lambs . Take care of My sheep . Feed My sheep (John 21:15-17, NIV). When you invest the time to follow up new believers and members, it is actually an evidence of your deep love for Christ. In the context of this book: a 'Discipler' is a Christian who is growing consistently in his relationship with Jesus Christ and is showing a younger believer how to mature in his faith and share his witness naturally. A 'Timothy' is a believer who is seeking to grow spiritually by spending time with a more experienced Christian. This equipping process is derived from the New Testament example of Paul who 'taught and trained' a growing young believer named Timothy.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Billie Hanks</note> <subject> <topic>Discipling (Christianity)</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">248</classification> <classification authority="ddc">B598-H24</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0849938546 9780849938535</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/4/12/ctjsignupform.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/4/12/ctjsignupform.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070613.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
