Discipleship in Action
O.T. Frimpong
Student
O.T. Frimpong is the son a Pastor Patrick Frimpong in Ghana, Africa. O.T. is constantly demonstrating the heart of a disciple by serving others. Whether it's pulling his weight in serving as a family member in a Ministry family or serving in the local Church his Dad is the Pastor at; O.T. is a blessing to be around. By God's grace, O.T. is able to be an example of servant leadership that Jesus modeled for His disciples in The Bible. From helping lead in a Jesus School of Discipleship Campus, to serving with the same school in a Community service setting, O.T. demonstrates Discipleship in Action by what he does; putting action to his faith in Jesus Christ. So, "High 5" O.T. for being willing to serve others as a disciple of Jesus!
Ezekiel Schmidt
Missionary & Student
Sharing his passion for dinosaurs from a Biblical standpoint is an expression of discipleship in the life of Ezekiel. With God's help, both Ezekiel and his Dad developed, designed and produced a creation based game called The Dino Egg Hunt. The goal of this game project is to point the light of creation towards God while giving families an opportunity to learn and have fun playing a game about some of the coolest creatures God made on the earth; dinosaurs. A disciple of Jesus does something to make a positive difference in the world all for the glory of God. So, "High 5" Ezekiel for modeling Discipleship in Action by doing something for God's glory while having fun in the process.
Sylvia Amo
Student
Sylvia is a remarkable Jesus School of Discipleship student in Ghana, Africa. Courage is a distinguishing mark of a disciple of Jesus Christ and Sylvia demonstrates this through her leadership. Sylvia can be seen in Ghana speaking in front of others with a naturally gifted ability from The Lord, but she has shared that this has not always been the case. A disciple of Jesus must be willing to walk with courageous obedience even when they are intimated about stepping out to do what God is giving them the opportunity to do. By God's grace, Sylvia exemplifies Discipleship in Action by the courage she walks in as a disciple of Jesus Christ. So, "High 5" Sylvia for being willing to lead others by your example as a disciple of Jesus!

Do You Know How To Know Jesus?
We All Have Sinned
Romans 3:23-24 ESV 23 "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,"
God's Love & Plan
John 3:16-17 KJV 16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."
We Can't Buy Salvation
Romans 6:23 ESV 23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Repent, Confess & Be Baptized
Acts 2:38-39 ESV 38 "And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”
Commitment & Discipleship
Matthew 28:19-20 ESV 19 "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, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
