The sessions were facilitated by Bishop Robert Bimba, who was appointed as the National Disciple-Making Leader for Liberia.<\/p>\n<p>According to Bishop Bimba, the ASDM seeks to \u201cawaken churches across Africa and call believers to action in fulfilling the Great Commission as stated in Matthew 28.\u201d He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to bring the movement to Liberia, adding that participants made strong commitments to strengthen discipleship in their congregations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not an option \u2014 it\u2019s a mandate from God,\u201d Bishop Bimba emphasized. \u201cWe\u2019ve agreed to reawaken and reinforce discipleship in our churches, ensuring that Christ is formed in every believer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The training was led by Apostle Dr. Samuel Gakape, the West Africa Regional Training Director of the movement, who traveled from Ghana to facilitate the sessions.<\/p>\n<p>According to Apostle Gakape, the Church must win more souls for Christ, through the discipleship method, because winning souls for Christ is one of the best ways to Heaven.<\/p>\n<p>If we must please God, we are to make disciples for him. People needs to know God for themselves and live a life pleasing God, that can only be done if the Church win more souls through discipleship, He noted<\/p>\n<p>Bishop Jackson J. Weah of Hope Renewal Ministry, who represented the Church of Liberia during the program, lauded the initiative as a \u201cwake-up call\u201d for the Liberian church.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis movement reminded us of our true calling \u2014 to make disciples of all nations,\u201d Bishop Weah stated. \u201cIt provided us with the tools and understanding we need to carry out the Great Commission more effectively.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also noted that while disciple-making can be resource-intensive, it begins with a willing heart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s costly, yes, but the willingness comes first,\u201d he added. \u201cWe trust God to make the needed resources available.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Participants described the program as both \u201ctimely\u201d and \u201ctransformative,\u201d emphasizing that it redirected the church\u2019s focus back to its core mission.<\/p>\n<p>The African Strategic Discipleship Movement\u2019s expansion into Liberia officially places the country on the continental map of the initiative. Church leaders expressed optimism that the partnership will strengthen unity among denominations and deepen spiritual growth through intentional discipleship.<\/p>\n<p>The movement plans to roll out a two-year discipleship training program in Liberia, targeting church leaders and local congregations nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>Key things covered include diagnosis of the state of the church of Liberia and Global, discipleship making is very critical and it is not a suggestion but a command, the Church is for Jesus Christ and he is the founder and should be done his way not ours, and the neglect of discipleship making has open doors for false teaching, rampant societal problems, etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Liberia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
