An OPC foreign missionarie’s perspective on the Great Commission.
“The next noteworthy matter is that the church’s commission is to “make disciples.” Jesus did not tell us merely to “make converts.” To be a disciple is to be a dedicated follower of the Lord Jesus. It is to be one who learns from him throughout one’s life. I used to tell my students in Kenya, where they speak Swahili, that they would always be mwanafunzi (students) because they were disciples of Christ. I am simply saying that disciples are not made in a moment.”
