Looking Back 

CARE

Ask how your friend has been doing since you last saw each other. Consider encouraging and/or praying for them. 

​

LOVING ACCOUNTABILITY

Last week, you and the new disciple set some goals. Ask how it went - and be prepared to truthfully answer as well! Be gracious.

​

VISION

Ask your friend what our vision for the world is and relate it to Revelation 7:9-11. See if they can paraphrase the passage. Ask how those people around the throne got there. (Someone told them about Jesus). Envision them to live with this day in mind.

Looking Up

SCRIPTURE
