Overview:
Come Follow Me is a discipleship course written specifically for new believers in Jesus from a Muslim background. It is relevant to the issues they face, is rooted in inductive Bible study, and for use in a regular, relational way (1:1 or in a group). It is also reproducible, so that those who complete the course can use it with others in turn.
Content:
Muslim people worldwide are turning to Jesus. How can they grow a strong identity as disciples of Christ and members of his community while still caring for their Muslim families? The ‘Come Follow Me’ discipleship course specifically aims to help these new believers.
Course participants grow through a powerful combination of self-study, regular discussion with a mentor (or in a group), and practical learning tasks. Deep-level discipleship affects issues of belonging (e.g., to old and new communities), issues of worldview (including fatalism, revenge, good deeds, etc), and issues of behavior (such as marriage relationships, conflict resolution). All these topics (and more) are tackled in this course, within the framework of an inductive study of 1 Peter.
Each learner will need one copy of the Course Book, and the mentor also needs the Advisor’s Guide.
The course is translated into nearly 30 languages and available on a secure webapp platform for situations where it is difficult or dangerous to carry a Christian book. See word.org.uk/shop
