Discipleship Saskatchewan
For more information please contact: Ryan Epp @ ryane@multiply.net
Saskatchewan Mennonite Brethren have a rich history of discipleship and disciple-making. Our M.B. faith pioneers were compelled to make disciples by their love for God and the Great Commission of Jesus. Our provincial M.B. history gives testimony to discipling followers of Jesus in creative ways. The Saskatchewan Conference of M.B. Churches (SKMB) is seeking to build on this history by responding to a profound need for disciple-ship amongst youth and young adults. Our unique partnership with MB Mission to actively promote the SOAR, TREK and Discipleship on Mission discipleship programs is one path to addressing that need.

Significant Conversations
One of the major impacts of COVID19 is the government’s restrictions pertaining to physical distancing and large gatherings. This has resulted in the need for leaders to find creative ways to provide care and accountability to those under their oversight. Whether you do this through Zoom, emails, Facetime, Skype, texts, or phone calls there is still the opportunity to make these connections substantive and meaningful. Two ways to continue to foster healthy and maturing disciples during this time of non face-to-face encounters is by using significant and thought- provoking questions as you connect with people, as well as by offering helpful resources to empower them to take initiative in their journey toward spiritual growth and maturity. Good questions and good resources, offered with great attention, grace, and compassion, can lead to good outcomes.
