What is the Memphis Master's Commission?.
"GO INTO ALL THE WORLD AND MAKE DISCIPLES"...just that – a program to make disciples. It's not a Bible school, Theological Seminary or an Evangelistic outreach program, nor is it designed to replace any of these, nor are we opposed to them. (Some of our trainees attend Master's Commission before or after attending a School of learning.) Master's Commission is a hands on training ground that provides a balanced growth environment to develop and equip the whole person. A balanced combination of Bible study, correspondence studies, personal discipleship and evangelism help to make this an effective ministry training program; a program which can be beneficial to the home church and the entire body of Christ Technically defined, Master's is a discipleship training ground, balanced with evangelism training to develop and equip the whole person. If one were to practically define Master's, it would be one word – RESULTS – changes taking place in people's lives. Young people are tired of being challenged…they want to change! The first area of change is RELATIONSHIPS. Master's Commission directs the student into right relationships. Strong, healthy relationships do not come naturally. They must be taught and developed. Three important aspects of relationships in Master's are: A. The student needs a right relationship with God. Phil. 1:1 says, "Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ" Throughout the New Testament, the early church leaders and disciples of Christ understood very well, a right relationship with God was evident in our servanthood. We are here to serve Him! Giving up our life to Jesus is to become His servant. That is our true relationship to God. During the session we strive to let Jesus be, Lord of All.
