The Great Commission calls every Jesus follower to be a disciple maker (Matthew 28:18-20).
This is a weighty responsibility and a joyful calling given by a good God to His people. We get to be ambassadors of Jesus! Blueprint Guides are designed to help you walk in obedience to the Great Commission by providing you with a simple and accessible resource designed to help disciples take a next step of obedience and growth through the study of Scripture or a doctrinally sound book. Blueprint Guides always conclude with a session that challenges participants to look outward and help others grow.
Blueprint Guides work within the six Pathway stages of the Discipleship Blueprint: Conversion, Submission, Devotion, Comprehension, Replication, Saturation.
