Creating Disciple-Making Movements: How the Making of Holistic Disciples Is Central to the Mission of Christ

Paul E. Johnson, hasn’t always served the Lord within a university context. For a decade Paul and his wife labored as Bible teachers and church planters in urban central Mexico. Concurrently Paul also worked to ignite a mission vision among believers and with church leaders. As a Great Commission vision grew, Paul worked with key leaders to launch a mission agency among the Bible Churches of central Mexico. * * * Today, Paul is passionate about effectively mobilizing young adults to go and make disciples—and to plant churches among all peoples, everywhere. How passionate? Paul himself went back to school. In his doctoral dissertation, he demonstrates that the core of Christ’s mission is the making of mature disciples who are transformed into Christ’s likeness and reproduce other holistic disciples to form disciple-making movements. * * * Paul E. Johnson, D.Min. (Western Seminary), Corban University’s Intercultural Studies professor, also teaches Old and New Testament Survey and Dynamics of Church Development. On top of that, Johnson is the faculty advisor for The TrueNorth Corps (Corban’s student missions organization), helps to plan Corban’s annual BreakAway Retreat and World Outreach Week, and leads trips to various mission fields each summer.
