Making Disciples of Christ in our Modern World
The One who called His disciples to “Come and follow” commissioned those same men to “Go and make” — to utilize what they had learned at the feet of the Master in order make other disciples who would, in turn, make other disciples. Our Lord’s mandate hasn’t changed. We are now called to...
FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF OUR MASTER. HOW?
This new title is a collaborative project by many brothers who are actively involved in discipleship today. This book is intended to equip the earnest Christian to effectively disciple someone else using the Lord’s example and methods.

Scott DeGroff
Scott DeGroff and his wife Lynn serve the Lord in California where they have been called to “Go and make disciples”. Their burden is for all of North America to realize how amazing Jesus Christ is and to enter into His abundant life! (filled with all the fullness of God, Eph.3). Years ago Scott would have thought he didn’t have time to make disciples, but hearing the subject of discipleship biblically laid out he came to the joyful understanding that making disciples was his whole life. Chasing Christ up the mountain and then by grace seeking to help others in that journey was what the Lord had given him to do. There is no greater journey or pursuit. God help us!
Jerry Mattix
Jerry Mattix was born to missionaries Mark and Carol Mattix still serving in Bolivia where he spent the first 17 years of his life. Inspired by his parents’ passion for missions he attended Emmaus Bible College where he was exposed to the need for the gospel in the Middle East. At Emmaus he also met his wife, Sarah Landrum, an MK from Mexico. Upon commendation from Tieton Drive Bible Chapel in Yakima, WA, they launched out to Turkey in 2001. Their three children were born there even as they served with the Diyarbakir Church in southeastern Turkey. They quickly recognized the need for discipleship training which took the form of a yearly Bible school under the auspices of the local church. After 12 fruitful years in Turkey Jerry was expelled for 'missionary activity' and so their family relocated to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. In Cyprus disciple making has taken on a new urgency as they minister to people flocking to the island from all over the Middle East. Sarah's trauma counseling ministry and Jerry's online programs and many books are some of the ways they continue to make disciples across the region.
Micah Tuttle
Micah Tuttle and his wife Amy have been married for 27 years and along the way God has blessed them with 6 wonderful children. The Tuttles were commended to the Lord’s work by Eastgate Bible Chapel in Portland Oregon in the year 2000. Soon after commendation they went to Peru where they began to work as missionaries in the Andes mountains and in the Amazon rainforest. The Lord enabled them to start a few churches and Bible institutes in the jungle where the work is now being carried on by Peruvian believers. Presently, the Tuttles are based in the USA and are working to encourage a younger generation in the areas of evangelism, discipleship, church planting and missions. Soul winning is a major focus in everything that Micah does as he attempts to share the gospel with anyone and every-one, anywhere he can.
