Disciple or die, Asian evangelicals told

Over 200 evangelicals from 25 nations across Asia focused on disciple-making at this year’s Asia Conference on Church and Mission (ACCM) in the Philippines.

The landmark Asia Evangelical Alliance (AEA) event, hosted in Manila in partnership with the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches (PCEC), was held under the banner “Disciple or Die 3.0”, which the alliance describes as “a call to move from discussion to decisive, measurable action” as it looks to “transform” the Asian church into a continental movement of disciple-makers.

The four-day conference set a target stipulating that 20% of evangelical churches in the AEA are to become “disciple-making churches” by 2033, meaning that at least a fifth of these churches’ membership must be involved in personally discipling others and not just attending church events themselves.
