ARTS ministry …opportunities for real discipleship

We are praying and seeking the Lord’s wisdom and leading as we go into 2021 with ARTS ministry! We know making disciples was important to Jesus when He walked and taught on the earth, and we know it’s still super important to Him and to us, His servants!

Christ calls us to Himself, and then He invites us to lead others to follow Him in obedience and trust. We are called disciples when we truly love each other in this way. 

Teaching and training is a means by which disciples of Jesus are continually transformed in order to become more like Christ (read Matt. 10:24–25; Rom. 8:29; 2 Cor. 3:18).

Luke 9:23–24

And Jesus said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and come after Me and follow Me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.

“Come after me” means to become a disciple (Luke 14:27) and requires that a disciple: (1) deny himself (not simply denying certain things but denying personal control of one’s life); (2) take up his cross (Luke 14:27; notes on Matt. 10:38 and Mark 8:34]; make a commitment that will lead to rejection and possibly even death); and (3) follow Me (following the example and teachings of Jesus).

Our desire in ARTS ministry is to provide Godly discipleship and also real tangible practical job training. We have so many neighbors who really desire and need employment and quality job training. Last year we were able to employ and train 16 people here at WWG ARTS. We would love your prayers as we move forward in 2021 in ARTS!
