What is she on about?

Whether it is in leading a Bible study, chaplaincy at Massey University, starting a women’s refuge, planning retreats, one-on-one discipling, relationships, or social activities for children or youth, discipleship drives Jill’s ministry, fulfilling a major component of Jesus’ last command to us in Matthew 28.

Discipleship is . . .
Helping people connect with Jesus and with others.
Equipping them to get close to Jesus and stay there.
Reconciling our corrupted worldview with a Kingdom worldview.
Desiring an intimacy with Christ that is to be lived out in the world.
Shifting gears many times each day to contextualize the Gospel in different situations depending upon the hearer, Jill gets to experience anew how living and active God’s Word is, and how thirsty people are for grace & truth.
