DISCIPLE II: INTO THE WORD INTO THE WORLD is the second study in the four-phase Disciple program and is prepared for those who are graduates of
DISCIPLE: BECOMING DISCIPLES THROUGH BIBLE STUDY. This study proclaims the transforming power of Scripture while teaching Bible study skills that take participants deeper into the Scripture. The importance of keeping Bible study related to witness is reinforced while participants are encouraged to practice spiritual disciplines arising out of Scripture for the purpose of changing habits and transforming lives. The study also emphasizes the rhythm of coming to God and going for God, of being in the Word and in the world individually and corporately. This study understands the growing Christian as under discipline in community and in ministry to the world.
INTO THE WORD INTO THE WORLD approaches all experiences of life as opportunities for faithful witness and service.

DISCIPLE: INTO THE WORD INTO THE WORLD Lapel Pin
In recognition of the discipline of weekly study for 32 weeks, we recommend that you give each group member a certificate of completion and a lapel pin.
