Vision & Mission
The Church Discipleship Ministry's mission is for churches throughout Zimbabwe to become disciple-making centers, where believers are encouraged in their faith, trained to live out the gospel, and sent out to disciple others. Its aim is to train, coach, and equip church leaders and members with biblical concepts and practical methods that promote spiritual growth, relational evangelism, and generational discipleship.
Foundational Principles
The ministry is built upon core values inspired by Jesus’ model of discipleship:
1. Life-on-Life Discipleship: Focusing on personal relationships where mature believers invest in others through intentional mentoring and teaching.
2. Spiritual Multiplication: Encouraging disciples to disciple others, creating a ripple effect of growth and transformation.
3. Scripture at the Core: Grounding all teaching and practices in the Word of God, making it central to life and ministry.
4. Prayer-Dependent Ministry: Fostering a reliance on prayer for guidance, transformation, and Kingdom impact.
5. Missional Living: Inspiring believers to integrate their faith into every aspect of life and witness to the world.
Impact and Transformation
Since its start, the Navigators Zimbabwe Church Discipleship Ministry has played an important role in recharging churches by creating a disciple-making culture.
