Recent Endorsements for Connecting With God     "Chris Adsit's discipling materials are the best, most user-friendly I've seen. The 'Connecting With God' workbook has been an invaluable tool for the Military Ministry as we seek to 'Reach the World through the Military of the World.' We have sent it to chaplains and our key active duty volunteers located at bases around the U.S. and the world, including to those deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom in Afghanistan, Kuwait, Iraq and other Middle East locations. There they have used 'Connecting With God' to begin the discipling process with the hundreds of U.S. servicemen & women who have made decisions for Christ during the deployment.     "To give just one example, shortly before the war started I received a call on our toll-free number from a young Marine sergeant in Kuwait who informed me that, 'Several of the guys in my company accepted Christ through the spiritual Rapid Deployment Kits (camouflage covered Bibles and evangelistic tracts) you folks (Military Ministry) sent us, ... I'm one of the few Christians in the outfit and I need your help to disciple them!' I mailed the sergeant 'Connecting With God' and it was just what he needed... he reported that the Marines he was leading looked forward to their time together studying God's Word and were steadily growing in the Lord. We have seen 'Connecting With God' used effectively in both one-on-one and small group settings. I wholeheartedly recommend that this should be included in everyone's ministry toolbox!" ~ Col. Chuck Macri, USAFR, National Director, Campus Crusade for Christ  Military Ministry, May, 2003     "I like the format along with the commentary. The presentation of truth is packaged in a catchy, fun style while plumbing the depths of Scripture at the same time. The material is not boring! It thoroughly covers the basics of the Christian faith, equipping the student to begin her/his walk of faith in Christ. The teacher aids are very helpful. A very user friendly tool in the hands of any believer desiring to help another believer grow.     "When one of my 'mentees' has completed the book, I have a confidence that she is on her way with a foundation that will keep her steady if she applies it when her Christian walk becomes difficult.     "Connecting with God is ideal for one on one discipleship as well as in a small group. [It] seems to attract varying levels of intellect and education and holds individuals interest to the end. Connecting with God can be used with anyone at anytime in their Christian walk. Many Christians find it fills the holes they missed in their beginning years and wish they had known these truths much sooner."     "I am using Connecting God with my Women's Ministries Team to train them in discipling others. I'm finding even older, mature believers still feel a sense of inadequacy regarding discipling  another one on one or in a small group. Connecting with God is a wonderful tool to give older believers a godly confidence that they can do it." ~Judy Renner, Director of Women's Ministries, Eastmont Church, Bend, OR, May, 2003 Endorsements for Personal Disciplemaking "This is the most comprehensive, practical, Biblical approach to one-on-one disciplemaking I've seen to date. If the student will faithfully apply the principles contained in these videos, he or she will become an effective disciplemaker." ~ Dr. Howard G. Hendricks - Distinguished Professor and Chairman of the Center for Christian Leadership, Dallas Theological Seminary "This video training series from Disciplemakers International will help you be equipped for a wonderful ministry in the lives of others. It will lay the foundation for a life of much greater effectiveness for God." ~ Steve Douglass - Executive Vice President, Campus Crusade for Christ, Int'l "Chris Adsit has produced a valuable tool for training in discipling. I have known him and his discipling heart since his student days in our Navigator ministries. This video series will provide the 'how-to's' of the discipling process." ~ Jerry E. White, Ph.D. - President, The Navigators "America houses the largest spiritual nursery we have ever seen in history. We desperately need to move Christians on from infancy into the infantry. Chris Adsit's system of training disciplemakers provides an excellent, objective, transferable means by which this can be accomplished. I enthusiastically recommend it!" ~ Earl D. Radmacher, Th.D. - President Emeritus, Western Seminary "Our leadership here at our church is excited about the method of disciplemaking that we are learning from Chris Adsit. We like the assessment tools and the fact that the system is ready to use. There is no need to scramble for more curriculum or try to reinvent a new method. Everything we need is provided. Our people are eager to learn through this series. The quality and content are just what we need to move our people forward as authentic disciples for the Lord. I can highly recommend the system and goals of this project if your church is serious about making real disciples who live for Christ." ~ Dr. David J.
