Will ten consecutive
and well-focused Christ-centered sermons make a
difference? “The final words of Jesus recorded in
the Gospel of Matthew mandated all future true
Christian believers to go and make disciples.”
Jesus said to his disciples, "All authority in
heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go
therefore and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to
observe all that I have commanded you. And behold,
I am with you always, to the end of the age."
Matthew 28:18-20 (ESV)
“What do true
disciples do? They disciple others! When pastors
teach the basics of being a disciple, the Holy
Spirit will transform the hearts, minds and lives
of believers. That’s what this is really all
about.”
The deadline for

Phyllis, was named after their daughter. The
Foundation is best known for its Amy Writing
Awards, which is an annual call to present
biblical truth reinforced with scripture in
secular, non-religious publications. It is
acclaimed as the most popular journalism contest
in the nation and results in tens of millions of
Americans learning of biblical principles every
year via the mainstream media.
The Foundation’s
mission is to present biblical truth to the
American people for the purpose of making the
United States a discipled nation by equipping
churches to effectively teach obedience of
everything Jesus has commanded us to do.
