Making Disciples Naturally
What does it mean to "make disciples"? What is the image in your mind when you hear the word "disciple"? The Kansas Communities Ministry has been involved in helping people grow in their walk with the Lord for nearly 50 years. We believe making disciples should be a natural part of our everyday lives. Hear practical, stimulating, Biblically-based thoughts on how to invest in individuals and help them in their walk with the Lord no matter where they are in their journey.
