Discipleship

Cityteam, a 13-year-old discipleship movement, has become one of the most shining examples of the Great Commission ever seen. When Jesus said to His friends, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you” (Matt. 28:19-20), Cityteam’s model is most likely what He had in mind.

Initiated in 2001, the ministry has helped plant almost 29,000 churches in 50 nations and has won almost 1 million converts—a third of them Muslims. With an international staff of only 11 people, Cityteam has worked through a far-flung network that includes church planters working for little more than reimbursement for travel and Bible purchases.

Cityteam’s iDisciple basic training seminars are helping to train, equip, coach and mentor people worldwide to disciple unreached men and women and mentor them to disciple others, so as to disciple the globe.

Cityteam originated as an inner-city mission in 1957 and gradually expanded its outreach to four other urban areas. However, it shifted toward playing a major role in discipleship in 2001.

Cityteam—it’s the Great Commission done right, done well and done faithfully.
