STRATEGIC DISCIPLESHIP GUIDE ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
This assignment will consist of 3 parts and is based upon the 3 articles in the Learn section of Module 7: Week 7.

3. From the article “Growth Group,” explain how you could participate with two other Christians in your church ministry context to help one another connect to Christ, connect to one another, and connect to His Great Commission. Be specific, measurable, and practical in this explanation.
