Genesis of this blog on disciple making


In light of the command that Jesus issued in His last few words, to "as you go, MAKE DISCIPLES."

This is fully what I intend to do.  The idea of "Forth Generation" comes from Paul's letter to Timothy where he indicates that there are four generations of disciples in the process of creating an ongoing movement. 
Paul>
              Timothy>
                                     faithful witnesses>
                                                                          others also. 

"...and that you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also."                      --2 Timothy 2:2 ESV

Pertinent to this is the exhortation in Colossians 1:28,29 Phillips: "So, naturally, we proclaim Christ! We warn everyone we meet, and we teach everyone we can, all that we know about him, so that, if possible, we may bring every man up to his full maturity in Christ. This is what I am working at all the time, with all the strength that God gives me."

So, with this in mind, I send this forth, for the forth.
