An Alongsider is first of all a disciple, someone who lives their life wholeheartedly with JESUS at the centre. An Alongsider intentionally comes alongside others and helps them in their journey towards JESUS. In Matthew 28:19,
Jesus said, ‘Therefore go and make disciples…’ And JESUS keeps calling out for us to help others become disciples.
The Bicycle Illustration highlights essential disciplemaking principles.
The Back Wheel is the Navigator Wheel illustration. It highlights key areas of a person’s walk with God. It brings to a pictorial view Jesus great commandments to love God (the vertical spokes) and to love our neighbour (the horizontal spokes).
The Front wheel is the guiding wheel that helps the disciple maker think about their ministry. Are they keeping in mind these principles and bringing them into play at appropriate moments?
