Discipleship does not happen simply because a
church exists. It occurs when there is an
intentional and strategic thrust to facilitate
spiritual maturity. -George Barna, Growing True
Disciples
I N T E R N A T I O N A L
INTENTIONAL

In some places the church is growing strongly,
but even there the problem is that of growth
without depth. In short, the church lacks proper
discipleship Our zeal to go wider has not been
matched by a commitment to go deeper. -John
Stott, First International Consultation on
Discipleship, Eastbourne, England.

T-Net uses an approach which trains and
builds a team of leaders in your church over a
long period of time. It is not just a seminar
but a training process to equip and coach leaders
until your church has an ever expanding team of
disciplemakers. -Howard Hendricks, Author, As
