When we think of evangelization, it is so tempting to believe that we have to reach out to scores of people at once. But most of us are not in a position to do that. In addition, such an approach is neither practical nor preferable. In One Disciple at a Time, author Everett Fritz makes the case that evangelization is best performed on a one-to-one basis. Forming disciples takes time and attention, and Fritz helps to illuminate the process to take the mystery out of it. This path forward has at its heart Jesus' message: to love one another as I have loved you.

One Disciple at a Time. One. Jesus left the 99 to search for the one. Not a group, not a ministry, one individual. Everett Fritz leads you on a very practical path on how to disciple one single individual, and quite honestly, I agree with his approach. The first six chapters are how he lays it out on how to disciple that one: connect, call, witness, encounter, pray, and challenge. The last two chapters deals with you and your leadership, and what that looks like. While Everett Fritz is Catholic and that is who his audience is in the book, I am not Catholic, and yet everything still appeals to the Christian faith, so please don't let that dissuade you from reading this to completion. Everett makes a good case. Jesus modeled His life before He called the apostles to follow Him. We are to lead by the same example. Not a large ministry that is just about "how many", but on a personal level modeled in every day life. Such a simple thing, and yet you don't see much of it in the churches today. One disciple raised up to lead the next disciple raised up to lead the next disciple. This is something we can do. Thank you Everett!!
