Unfortunately, many Christ-followers today don’t know what it means to make disciples.

When asked if they’d “heard of the Great Commission,” half of U.S. churchgoers say they do not know this term. For the remaining 49% of churchgoers who have heard of the Great Commission, Barna reports that only “20% of Christian adults are involved in some sort of discipleship activity (e.g. Sunday school, fellowship group, meeting with a spiritual mentor, studying the Bible with a group, or reading and discussing a Christian book with a group).” However, they aren’t avoiding discipleship activities due to a lack of interest. One in three Christians is looking for one-on-one discipleship.
