Posted on 05/09/2013 7:33:50 AM PDT by 7thson

Do any Freepers know anything about a group called Disciple Makers? They basically hang around college campuses.

Is it part of the shepherding movement? If so, it would be very cultic and toxic.

Here's a link to their website: http://www.dm.org/ Don't know anything about them. Are they a re-tooled version of Campus Crusade for Christ?

What would you think about someone who graduates from a college and instead of getting a job in his/her major decides to minister for a group like Disciple Makers? And when I say minister, I do not mean they are studying to become a priest. Here is the kicker - those who minister depend on other Disciple Makers who have jobs for money in order to pay for food, rent, etc. What say you?

“Here is the kicker - those who minister depend on other Disciple Makers who have jobs for money in order to pay for food, rent, etc.”

Sounds dangerous. If I remember correctly, there was a radical fringe group a couple thousand years ago who adopted a similar strategy.
