ZuluWhy is discipleship training important?
In our experience, discipleship training with loving accountability is the most neglected part of the Great Commission. Jesus gave us His instruction to “teach them to obey all I have commanded” (Matt. 28:20, emphasis added).
But many people focus on going and teaching, not obeying.
Conversion by the power of the Holy Spirit is only the beginning. Trusting Jesus by being “doers of the Word, and not hearers only” (James 1:22) changes our perspectives and priorities.
Ultimately, God’s truth applied with His help transforms our lives.
Sadly, many women worldwide have no one to equip them with discipleship training because of cultural limitations or restrictive conditions.
Women believers in many countries are often neglected, left to navigate their new faith on their own. When we provide women with discipleship training and encouragement, they have an enormous impact as disciple makers, reaching their communities for Jesus.
Think about the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4—once she encountered Jesus, her priorities changed.
It was not culturally appropriate for Jesus to even talk to her.
Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, "What do you want?" or "Why are you talking with her?" Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, "Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?" They came out of the town and made their way toward him.
She dropped everything and told everyone about Jesus.
Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony...And because of his words many more became believers.
As a result of this one woman, many in the town were saved, and an entire community experienced change.
When we equip women through discipleship training, God is glorified.
Why does All In focus on discipleship training for women specifically?
Just a few of the many reasons why we focus on developing discipleship resources to equip women to be disciple makers:
Women are “the keepers of religion” in many cultures.
In many countries, women are responsible for religious offerings or observances in homes. Often they serve to lead their families in worship, presenting offerings in household shrines or ringing bells at certain times. When a woman becomes a new believer, she is usually interested in discipleship training because she already fulfills this role in her own family and culture.
Women can spread the gospel in places closed to Christianity.
Women can go into places closed to missionaries (and native male believers) because they are usually not viewed as a threat. When we equip women with discipleship training, they can use their access to advance the gospel. Entire villages and tribes have been saved as a result.
Christian discipleship training for women is limited or nonexistent in many places.
Cultural limitations sometimes prevent missionaries from investing in women. In some countries, women are not permitted to ask questions of men. Women miss the discipleship training needed to grow and be disciple makers. They are not given discipleship essentials, like Bibles. But when they are equipped with discipleship training and tools, women spread the gospel to other women and children.
Changed women change their families, change their communities, and eventually help change the world.

Greetings from Vijayawada, India to both of you respected founders in Jesus Christ name 🙏.
I am so glad to hear about your website. I’m interested to know all about the MinistrieGreetingss information.
In Jesus Grace my fellowship has number of independent different tribal pastors in various poor people locations in our country.
Many preacher’s have not received Bible training they have many financial problems. Preacher’s are ministering in poor tribal people locations.
I am working as an independent Bible teacher. Sometimes I will gather some small groups and I conduct Bible classes and I provide food in different locations but not regularly, We are praying for God’s help.
We prepared food for the children who were orphans and lost their way and ate what fell on the railway platforms and took them in the auto gathered all these children and gave them lunch, we ate with them and spent some time with them and came home.
Please pray for the well-being of these children. Seeing their conditions makes me cry. Those who play or some children are under the burden of drugs given by someone. Some girls are younger they need a lot of spiritual growth.
We are unable to do anything to keep them with us due to our financial situation, seeing them makes us cry a lot. There is no one to help, I will send you some photos taken today. Please pray for their future with your great God minded team.
**Please pray for the salvation of our Indian tribal people and welcome to India for preaching the gospel of God to expand the Kingdom of God and discipleship making and welfare of the orphanage widows and children.**
Thank you so much for giving this opportunity.
