DISCIPLESHIP
One of the greatest privileges the Lord has given us is discipling His children as He brings them into our lives. What a joy it is to walk alongside them in faith!
When Jesus was on earth, He made it clear: “Apart from My Father, I can do nothing.” His disciples saw this firsthand. They watched as He faithfully carried out His Father’s work, completely dependent on Him. They saw Him withdraw to pray alone and were invited to pray with Him. They lived together, worked together, loved others together, and worshiped the Father together. This is the essence of discipleship, and it is our desire for those the Lord places in our care.
Each day, the Father is teaching us to walk with Him in intimacy and obedience. We long to share this journey with others—discovering together the joy of knowing Him through everyday life, work, prayer, and worship.
For He alone is worthy—worthy of all glory, majesty, dominion, and power, before all time, now, and forever (Jude 24-25).
Knowing Him
We pray that every disciple who comes would truly know Him, growing in deeper love for Him and stronger faith in Him.
Following Him
We pray that they would FOLLOW HIM, with no hesitation, empowered by the Spirit, in any way He leads them.
Serving
Him
We pray that every disciple would know Him deeply, follow Him wholeheartedly, and serve Him faithfully—sacrificially giving their lives for His glory, empowered by the Spirit to go wherever He leads.
LIFE CHANGING
“One profitable thing that grew me as an intern with the Freedom Teams was the life-on-life style of discipleship and their intentionality in every area. It felt like a very holistic approach instead of a program, and the Lord shaped my time to be just what I needed!”​
Camryn
"One thing that stuck out to me about the team is their unity in Christ and the love they have for one another. One way this is exemplified is their intentionality to seek the Lord in prayer and to communicate effectively with one another."
Sophia
“Something I really appreciated about being a part of Freedom Teams in Watsonville was the emphasis on time in the Word and prayer, both in group settings and in private with the Lord. Being discipled by the team in these areas, along with mutual accountability while living in close proximity to one another, brought much growth and blessing that I’ll always be thankful for.”
