Pure Word Ministries' desire is to equip and prepare believers to disciple Christians of all ages, races, and backgrounds. The Word of God is totally sufficient for this task and has the answers for every problem that man may face.

We want to see the fulfillment of the Great Commission in our lifetime. It's been said that if one person disciples another person for one year and then, in turn, both reach another person and each disciples them for one year, and in each subsequent year each of these, in turn, do the same thing, it would only take 33 years to evangelize the whole earth. Rather than leave this as theory, we want to see it happen! We want to be found faithful with those the Lord sends us. May we be found working when He returns.

• Pure Word Ministries does not "counsel" or "sponsor" but rather "disciples" individuals who desire to bring about real change in their lives. What is the difference? Counseling or sponsoring is defined as advice, opinion, or instruction given in directing the judgment or conduct of another. A counselor or sponsor is one who counsels and is in an elevated position over another. The person being counseled or sponsored submits his or her will to this individual for a season of time.
• "Discipleship" is defined as teaching, training, or grasping. A disciple is one who is a pupil or an adherent of the doctrines of another, a follower of Christ. A discipler seeks to serve and lift up the other individual. He is to be under them or a foot-washer. A discipler doesn't have or exert authority over another. We are to train others to follow Jesus, not ourselves or our philosophies. Disciplees are taught to become God-dependent rather than man-dependent.
• The goal of our discipling ministry is to bring about effective personality and behavioral change. The process in which this goal is reached is to confront, comfort, and teach biblical principles. We believe that through the study of His Word, the power of prayer, accountability, and fellowship, challenging issues can be completely overcome.

Volunteers desiring to disciple others must first attend the Pure Word Discipling Training. Classes consist of five training session for each round.  Registration is required for these classes.
