1. Pastors and leaders - in
USA 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.”

To other Pastors: If you are looking for a
quick fix to discipleship, don't buy this material. If however you would like
material that systematically takes people from a point of not knowing Christ to
a disciple, and then challenges them to become disciple-makers themselves, you
might want to spend the time to investigate Omega. We live in a fast paced
world, we want to make disciples in 12 weeks and send them out, yet we see in
scripture that Jesus walked day in and day out with his disciples for three
years. Omega is not a quick fix; it builds on steady growth. After all, isn’t
that the essence of true discipleship?” Louisiana
- Rocky
East, Pastor of Westlake Church of God New Yo "I've taught using a lot of small group/Sunday school materials, Willow Creek, Churches Alive, Saddleback, Navigator materials. But Omega is good stuff. I used a lot of different materials and as good as it was, I always added supplements to make it more personal and clear to the people in my groups. With your material, it's like you put in the supplements I was always adding. You do a great job of keeping the truths of God's Word on the lower shelves where people can reach them."

“I think that this material is the best that I personally have ever seen
or used in my 18 years as a Christian.” “I found the whole study series comprehensive. The discipline of learning a
scripture every week was life-changing. The discussions we had at our meetings
invaluable.” “This is the best thing our church has started. All of the components
helped to make my foundation solid. After being a Christian all my life, I am
now starting to get the picture of what it means to truly follow Jesus.”
“Excellent material. I’ve learned 50 memory verses that I’ll carry
through my life and will never forget them!” “I have found the whole course excellent, but was challenged most in the
areas of my prayer life and the Lordship of Christ over every area of my life.
This course is more than head knowledge as the Holy Spirit moves in our heart
and life, challenging us on a personal level.” “I like the way that each lesson builds on the one before bringing us
into a closer and deeper relationship with our God.” “Every week each study has taught me something new. The most I really
have received from this course is this: If we all loved like Jesus as Christians
we would be unstoppable for Him.”

• “One of the most glaring omissions of the western church
is discipleship. The Church many times emphasizes evangelism but does
little to disciple. We as a church were no different. We began using
the Alpha Course to reach people for Christ but with questions as to what do we
do next with those who are growing. Then I was introduced to Omega
Discipleship Ministries. After carefully looking over the material I realized
this is exactly what was needed to compliment our outreach ministry. So we
established our ‘Alpha-Omega Strategy’. We felt that to be faithful to the
‘Great Commission’ which calls us to . . . ‘Go and make disciples’, all the
adult and teen Sunday School Classes should go through the material. This allows
the student to grow in their own discipleship as well as become familiar with
the material in order to disciple others. When choosing the Omega Discipleship
Series for all adults and teens in our Sunday school classes we were met with
some resistance because we were removing class options. But now I am getting
comments of how much they appreciate this challenge to grow in their faith and
development. And it is exciting to see students maturing in Christ. Thank you
for this much needed material.”
"I have
looked for years to find some discipleship material that would make a greater
impact on new believers in our church. There had to be something out there that
was more than a six or twelve week program.
