Marvin Lorenzana is the author of the newest booklet in Mennonite Mission Network’s   Missio Dei series titled Not just disciples but disciple makers. The director for discipleship initiatives at Mennonite Mission Network, Marvin Lorenzana was one of the speakers at Ohio Conference’s 2018 Annual Conference Assembly and 2018 Gathered and Sent Missional Conference.

“Biblical discipleship,” he says, “is only complete when a faithful disciple of Jesus learns — in an intentional and relational way — how to make another faithful disciple of Jesus” (p. 3).

This booklet raises important questions about the difference between being disciples of Jesus and being Jesus’ disciple makers. To get copies of this booklet, go to http://bit.ly/MMNDiscipleMakers.
