The vision and purpose of the Global Great Commission Network (GGCN) emphasize the importance of discipleship, specifically:
VISION STATEMENT
We envision every people group reached and in the process of being discipled in this generation.
PURPOSE STATEMENT
The Global Great Commission Network – Carrying Tokyo 2010 Forward exists to stimulate worldwide mission efforts that promote the making of disciples of every people in our generation.
The Tokyo Declaration reads in part … we leave Tokyo pledging cooperation with one another, and all others of like faith, with the singular goal of “making disciples of every people in our generation.”
What does “making disciples of every people in our generation” mean? Where are we at in our obedience to the Great Commission’s commandment to make disciples? If there are gaps in our obedience and teaching, what needs to be done and where do we get started?
The following resources are the beginning of a listing of available resources to strengthen our understanding of the Great Commission’s commandment to make disciples:
