1. Pastors and leaders:

Making disciples
“I am so thankful I found your ministry on the internet. Your materials on discipleship are "THE BEST" I have found anywhere. I've looked for years in the US for Discipleship training material and could not find what I liked. Yours is top notch. Especially Books 4 and 5 seem to be the "BEST HANDS-ON" approach to mentor believers into disciples that I have ever found. We have a tendency in our churches to talk a lot about "Making Disciples for Jesus Christ" but not always understanding either what that means or how to do it. Thank you for your marvelous resources.”

Pastor R. David Reynolds Central United Methodist Church, Decatur, Illinois USA

Discipleship training
“Our mission statement includes the discipling and training of people for ministry as one of our major objectives. These books are excellent tools to assist in reaching that objective. The material is clear and biblical yet simply presented. I recommend you try this material in your church. The best I’ve seen!”

(Pastor John Lewis, former State Superintendent of Assemblies of God, Queensland; and Senior Pastor of Northside Christian Church, Brisbane)

Discipling the nations
“I have been seeking to ‘make disciples of all nations’ by distributing and teaching from “Come Follow Me” - the most comprehensive teaching material I have found on making disciples. I have used these materials in Papua New Guinea, Singapore, Malaysia, Borneo, Indonesia, India and many other countries. “Come Follow Me” has been ‘scattered’ all over Nepal and built into the lives of Tibetans whom I have discipled over a number of years.”

(Pastor Merrilyn Teague of the Austral-Asian Christian Church, Adelaide)

Establishing solid foundations
“Our goal as a church has always been to provide a solid discipleship program for our people - especially for new Christians. However, the struggle has been to find material that covers the basic foundational teachings in a concise yet challenging manner. “My First Steps” by Ian Malins gave us what we were looking for.”

(Former Pastor S. Wegner, of Everton Hills Wesleyan Methodist church, Brisbane)

Discipling of youth
“I have found these study materials to be realistic and relevant for young people. The presentation is clear, simple, yet very challenging. Youth under my care were excited about the studies and couldn’t wait for the next lesson.”

(Pastor David Bishop, Baptist Youth Pastor, Brisbane)

Church planting
“In planting a new church, I have used ‘My First Steps’ as a training tool to equip Christians to follow-up those who have made first time commitments to Christ. I would like to recommend this book as an effective tool for anyone seeking to do follow-up and discipling of others.”

(Rev. Graham Sercombe, Director for Evangelism with Southern Cross Ministries, Brisbane)

Evangelism and discipling
“The studies in “Come to Me” present the Gospel in clear, simple language that is accessible to all people. Further to that, a person who has accepted Christ as Lord, can find in “My First Steps” a blueprint for Christian living, so necessary to those who have just begun their Christian walk.”

(Glen Chislett, Church of Christ, Robinvale, Victoria)
