FULFILLING THE GREAT COMMISSION IN THE SPIRIT OF THE GREAT COMMANDMENT

Written By Allan Pereira

In the backdrop of a world grappling with fatherlessness, discipleship must become a key component in shaping the lives of men which will have a positive impact on the health of the family unit.

The Great Commission (making disciples of all nations) can only function successfully if it is fully dependent on the Great Commandment (love the Lord your God, with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind).

Imagine if we were to go to the ends of the earth but, we neglect our neighbor next door, the single father who has no support system, the widow mother who can’t catch a break, or worse, our very own family.

WE FAIL AT LOVING GOD WELL IF WE OVERLOOK OUR NEIGHBOR.

This leads way for a compelling narrative that is forged through intentional discipleship, addressing not only the spiritual hunger but also the profound need for a fatherly presence in a world seeking guidance and connection.

Here’s what intentional discipleship could look like for you in the context of our ministry work at Man Up:

  • Spiritual Mentorship – Nurturing relationships that echo a fatherly presence in the lives of the fatherless

  • Bridge of Connection – Addressing the gap through intentional bonds that fulfill the call to love both God and neighbor

  • Purposeful Guidance – Providing not only spiritual nourishment but also a profound sense of direction for those seeking advice

This transformative discipleship journey transcends more than mere evangelism but rather is rooted in love, mentorship, and the desire to fulfill the longing for a father for every child with healthy fatherly figures.
