We all know that we are commanded to witness to people.  Do we do it?  Have you led someone to Christ?  Too many Christians feel that it is up to the pastor to do the soulwinning.  I have big news for you -- that's not his job.  His job is to teach and guide us to do this.  This doesn't mean that the pastor isn't supposed to be out winning souls, it means it isn't supposed to be left solely up to him.  But, just leading someone to Christ is not all that we are to be doing.  We are also to disciple them.  Matthew 28:19 tells us to go and 'teach.'  This word 'teach' literally means in the Greek 'to disciple.'  It is derived from another Greek word which means 'pupil.'  So essentially, we are to make disciples through teaching.
What is discipling?  Well, we can take Christ as an example.  His disciples lived and travelled with him.  It was an intimate teaching relationship.  Christ treated them as His children, nurturing and admonishing them, training them to take His place when He ascended back to the Father.  As Christians, we are expected to disciple those who have been saved.  Usually, the disciple is someone you have led to the Lord.  As Christians it is very important for us to be able to share God's word and guide someone to salvation.  There are several methods to leading someone to Christ.
The first method is called the Roman's Road.  It is a series of verses, all in the book of Romans, that guides a person through the plan of salvation, showing her sinful condition and how she can be saved.  The first verse is Romans 3:10 which states, "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"  This is a direct reference to Psalm 14:1,3.  You can show this passage to her if they ask where the Bible says that.  I would continue with verses 11 and 12 of Romans 3, but that is up to you.  From there you go to Romans 3:23 which states, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God;"  Next is Romans 5:12 stating, "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned;"  Then move to Romans 5:8, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."  From there go to Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."  Next is Romans 10:13, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."  Finally you go to Romans 10:9,10, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
The second method is known as the Wordless Book.  Usually you have a book of coloured pages.  The first is a black page, representing sin, then a red page representing blood, a white page representing cleansing or washing away of sins and then a gold page, representing heaven.  The cover is green, which represents growth.  Generally this presentation is made as a story, turning the pages as you talk about that aspect of salvation.  However you can take her through the story and scriptures without a Wordless Book.  Start by explaining how wonderful heaven is, and showing them from the Bible Revelation 21:4,18,21 and John 14:2,3.  Next you must explain that sin is not allowed in heaven and that we all have sinned by showing them Romans 3:23,10 and 1 John 1:8,10.  Next reveal to her that the only way to obtain forgiveness for sin is through Jesus' blood and take her to Romans 5:8, 6:23, Hebrews 9:22, Ephesians 2:8.  Jesus' blood will wash away their sins, leaving her white as snow according to John 3:16 and Isaiah 1:18.  After she has received Christ's salvation she needs to grow by reading their Bible, praying and attending church as stated in Psalm 119:10,11 and Hebrews 10:25.
The third method is an acrostic which spells out Gospel.  Explain to her that God loves her personally, using Romans 5:8.  Then tell her that Jesus is God's Only perfect son and that He is God, using John 3:16 and Hebrews 4:15.  Point out that she has Sinned and you have sinned.  Define sin and give examples, using verse Romans 3:23.  Because of this sin we are separated from God, but God wants us to be with Him so Jesus came to earth and gave His Precious blood to cover our sins, use Hebrews 9:22.  Explain to her that Christ didn't stay dead, He rose again the third day which makes Him our Everlasting saviour.  Read her 1 Corinthians 15:3,4.  Then challenge her to Let Him in, using verses John 1:12 and Acts 16:31.
The last method I want to share with you is a series of questions; 1.)  Why did you come to talk to me?  This method is often used when counseling children who have come forward at an invitation.  Sometimes children can get confused about what they are actually coming up for.  It is not unusual to sit down to counsel a child and find out that they only came forward because they want prayer for their pet dog that got hit by a car, or because their kitty is missing.  By asking this question first, you can find out whether the child is on the same wavelength with you.  Whatever they may be discussing, don't just dismiss it.  If appropriate, pray with them.  Then move on to the rest of the questions. 2)  Why do you need Jesus?  Romans 3:23,10  3.)  What is sin?  Who has sinned?  Romans 6:23  4.)  Why did God send Jesus?  John 3:16  5.)  What did Jesus do?  Romans 5:8  6.)  What happened three days later?  1 Corinthians 15:3,4  7.)  What do you want Jesus to do for you?  8.)  What did Jesus just do for you?  How do you know?  Hebrews 13:5b, 1 John 1:9
It is important not to force a salvation decision on anyone, and this is especially easy with a child.  A child will tell you what you want to hear, not necessarily the truth.  That is why you should never ask a child questions that can be answered with a yes or a no.  By asking them questions that they have to provide answers for, you can determine whether they understand about sin and salvation.  If a child is ready to be saved, they will know the answers, because the Holy Spirit is dealing with them.  We must remember that it is the Holy Spirit that deals with people and brings them to the point of salvation.  All we can do is present the plan of salvation and answer questions as best we can.  You should not be discouraged that a child proves to not be ready.  It must be left up to the Holy Spirit.  We can seriously harm a person's life by forcing them into a decision they weren't ready for or didn't understand.  They could go through life believing themselves to be saved, and really aren't.  You don't want to have to answer for that before God.
When she is ready to make a decision, this is where you need to explain prayer.  Most people who have no church background have no idea how to pray.  They think it is some mystical practice.  I like to explain that prayer is simply talking to God, like you would talk to a friend, your parents or any other person.  You don't have to use fancy words or follow a specific ritual.  You should try to help her come up with the words on her own, and then lead her in the prayer using those words.  It is very important that you do not tell the person after she has prayed, "You are now saved."  You cannot know that.  Only that person and God knows that.  What you can do is ask her what Christ has done for her and how she can know.  Reinforce this with scripture such as Romans 10:13, Acts 16:30,31 and 1John 1:9.  I like to give them a couple of verses they can claim for themselves.  My two favourites are John 3:16 and Hebrews 13:5b.  I have them replace the words "world" "whosoever" and "thee" with their name.  This personalizes the verse and makes it their own.  It will be much easier for them to remember.
Once she has made a decision for Christ, your work really begins!  You have just given birth to a new Christian.  Just like you wouldn't take your newborn and set him in front of the refrigerator and tell him to help himself, you cannot just turn a new Christian loose.  Just like any newborn in the forest is easy prey for preditors, this new Christian is a sitting duck for Satan.  It is now your responsibility to 'train them up in the way they should go.'  But how do you do this?
First, if the person is a member of the opposite sex, you should find a capable Christian of the same sex to disciple this person.  Discipling is an intimate relationship, one that requires nurturing.  It is not appropriate for you to establish this type of relationship with a member of the opposite sex, whether married or not.  Unless, of course, it happens to be your spouse or fiance.  It is best not to create an opening for gossip, the appearance of wrong, a misunderstanding on the disciple's part, or a situation where either of you would be tempted into wrongdoing.  Avoid all appearance of evil.  Sometimes this person may not want to attend your church.  You should scope out the area and find a good Bible-believing church to direct them to.  Alert the pastor to this person.  Maybe the person has ties to a church already, maybe one that isn't Biblically sound.  You cannot force them to go somewhere they don't want to go.  In that case, you should keep in close touch with them and follow the rest of the instructions even though they aren't attending your church.  You and some 'support' Christians should be praying for this person that God would lead in their life and direct them to a good church.  It may be necessary for you and your husband, or if you are not married then two male members of your church to visit and disciple the convert regularly if it is a man.
After a decision has been made, you should get the name, address and phone number of the convert.  It is important that she begins to tell others about her experience immediately.  You should probably begin by telling your pastor.  Of course, if she came forward at an invitation in church, then telling people won't be a problem.  The convert should be invited to the next service, and offer to pick her up.  Tell her that you would like to come visit her the next day.  You will be surprised to find that some will still be floating on their new experience, and some will already have doubts due to attacks by Satan.  This is why a next-day follow-up is important.  This is when you want to establish a weekly time of study.  Explain that you are here to teach her how to study the Bible for herself so that she can grow in God's word.  You may even want to buy a Bible for her to give to her this first day.  Fill out the presentation page, and write the verses you gave her for her own at the bottom of the page or on the facing page.  If she already has a Bible, a good gift would be a devotional Bible.  It is already set up with passage readings and a devotional thought.  It's format will make devotions easier for her to establish in her life.
Discipling is a mentoring process.  What does that mean?  Well, again, it is an intimate relationship of instruction, but it's emphasis is on your life.  Any good and effective leader leads by example.  He does not impose rules and regulations on his subordinates that he does not follow himself.  Leadership is not a position of privilege, but of responsibility, one that needs to be taken very seriously and humbly.  When I graduated from Bible college, I stayed on for a year as a secretary.  Because I had no car, I stayed in the girls dorm, in a room to myself.  The girls had to follow a certain dress code.  I was not bound by that dress code, but I followed it.  I was living with them, and I felt it was inappropriate to go around in whatever I felt like wearing.  First of all, I felt it was very rude and inconsiderate to be parading around wearing whatever I liked when they couldn't, and I also felt it would be very confusing to the Freshmen who did not yet know the rules.  I did not want them getting into trouble wearing something they thought was okay because they saw me wearing it.  The girls were expected to dress a certain way, and I dressed that way as an example to them.  It is summed up in Titus 2:3-5, "The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; that they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed."  I think most of those are self explanatory, but I would like to comment on 'false accusers.'  I'm not sure what most people would consider it to mean, possibly falsely accusing someone or lying about them.  I always took it to mean gossip.  So I decided that I would sit down with a concordance and look it up.  I found out that 'accusers' is a very strong term.  The definition is "a traducer (or slanderer), specifically Satan."  The writer is essentially equating a false accuser with Satan.  That is very strong language.  But think about it -- Satan is the father of lies.  Anything that tears down is his work.  If you are slandering, lying or gossiping, you are doing the work of Satan.  I know many people who pass along stories under the pretense of 'prayer requests.'  You are either trying to candy-coat the truth or have deceived yourself.  In order to request prayer you do not have to divulge all the details.  Simply say you have a friend who needs prayer, or have an unspoken request.  God knows all about it, and He is the one who will be handling it anyway.  Not having details does not make the prayers any less effective.  Also, if someone approaches you to 'share' about someone else's troubles, cut them off.  Tell them all you need to know is the person's name, and you will pray for them.  If no one listened, people would have no one to tell.
The thought of being an example for someone is very daunting.  In fact, it is downright scary!  There are some characteristics that every Christian should emulate.  You should do an inventory of you life to see if you are living up:
Humility (Matthew 23:11,12) an attitude in relationship to God and one's fellow man, which manifests itself in a voluntary subordination to the will of others.  It is important to have a proper self-image.  Do not think higher of yourself than you ought, and do not think less of yourself than you ought.  You are a child of God, but this side of heaven you fall short of Christ.  Christ Himself gave us an example of humility when He washed the disciples feet in John 13.
Virtue (2 Peter 1:5) the moral excellence and purity of spirit that radiates from my life as I obey God's word. You may be good at hiding secret vices or sins on the outside, but rest assured they will eventually become obvious if you do not strive to get rid of them.
Deference (Romans 14:21) limiting my freedom in order not to offend the tastes of those God has called me to serve.  This works for other Christians as well as the unsaved.  The unsaved have their ideas of what Christians should be, look like, act like, etc.  I believe that is why so many find Christianity distasteful.  They can't see any difference between themselves and us.
Discernment (Proverbs 27:12) recognizing subtle dangers which others overlook and then visualizing the consequences of those dangers.  You must be walking with the Lord, ever mindful of the Holy Spirit to hope to have this characteristic.  It requires consistant effort.
Courtesy (Philippians 2:3) expressing through attitudes and actions my high esteem for others.  Treat each person as if you were serving Christ personally, because you are.
Orderliness (1 Corinthians 14:40) preparing myself and my surroundings so that I will achieve the greatest efficiency.  
Stewardship (1 Corinthians 4:2) wise use of that which God has entrusted to me.  Are you using your talents and serving to the best of your ability?
Hospitality (1 Peter 4:9) cheerfully sharing food, shelter, and spiritual refreshment with those God brings into my life.  Do you take advantage of these opportunities when presented?  Even if it means a sacrifice?
Responsibility (Romans 14:12) knowing and doing what both God and others are expecting from me.  The only way you can know what God expects of you is by studying His word and being open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.  Responsibility to others would include keeping your word and living up to positions you hold in the church or community.  You should do everything to the glory of God.
These are characteristics that you are to be passing on to your disciple, which you cannot do unless they are already characteristics you have.  You won't necessarily cover them as I have in this booklet, but if they are part of your life, you will unconsciously transfer them into everything you do and say for your convert to see and emulate.  No one will be able to live up to all of these every moment of their lives.  Afterall, we are still mortal.  But, you can be striving, and should continue striving.  Simply because you fail doesn't give you an excuse to quit 'shooting for the mark.'
It is important to start your convert out in prayer, devotions and Bible study as soon as possible.  For starter Bible study I would recommend using the booklet "Basics for Believers:  An Introduction to Christian Growth" by James A. Berg.  It is divided up into easy sections to cover the basics of Christianity.  It also includes some verses listed by topic for easy reference, instructions on devotions, praying, and some memory verse cards to get you both started.  The first sections are interactive -- the student reads scripture and answers questions.  You might also use other booklets from my Woman's Guide series for supplements.  Another book you might want to consider using is "Basic Bible Truths for New Converts" by Ralph O. Burns.  I would suggest that you compare the two before deciding which one you want to use.
Be prepared for lots of questions.  Also be prepared to not know all the answers.  When you don't know an answer, admit it.  Tell her you will look into the Scriptures for the answer, or take the time to stop right there and begin looking it up with her.  Assure her that no question is stupid or silly.  Make sure that you can provide scriptural support for every answer you give her.  We as Christians too often rely on tradition and pat answers as part of our faith.  If it cannot be proven with Scripture, it has no place as doctrine.  Also guard against simply using one verse to back up a view.  Often we take verses out of context and therefore change the entire meaning.  This is how cults get started.
You should have prayer with her.  If she has no church background, then she will most likely be uncomfortable with this.  Take it slow.  Tell her that you will have a time of sentence prayers.  Make a short list of requests, no more than five.  Then take turns praying for the requests in one or two sentences.  When it is the next lady's turn, she takes the next request.  This will keep it short and simple, and less traumatic for her.  I would try this for about six weeks, giving her a chance to get comfortable.  Next, take turns saying sentence prayers for two requests at a time.  Do this for four weeks, and then move up to three requests at a time.  Continue this until she is comfortable praying on her own for several requests.  Personally, I like alternating with my prayer partner -- I think it helps you keep your attention on what you are doing better.  I think it creates a deeper sense of rapport between the two.  So once she is comfortable with longer prayers on her own, the two of you can decide which method you want to use.
In addition to teaching her how to pray, you should teach her about the different forms of prayer.  I created an acrostic which helps remind me of what is involved and gained in prayer:
 
Intercession:  to plead or interpose on behalf of another.  Romans 8:26,27
Meditation:  the revolving of a subject in the mind.  Joshua 1:8
Petition:  a request.  1 John 5:15
Application:  the testing of something by putting it into practice.  Psalm 90:12
Confession:  admitting or acknowledging something.  1 John 1:9
Thanksgiving:  grateful acknowledgment of benefits or favours; a public celebration in              acknowledgment of divine favour.  Psalm 50:14
Supplication:  to entreat or beg humbly for, implore.  Ephesians 6:18
of
Praise:  commendation bestowed on someone or something, homage.  Psalm 7:17
Reverence:  an attitude of deep respect and esteem mingled with affection.  Leviticus 26:2
Adoration:  to honour, to regard with the utmost devotion, love and respect.  Luke 2:27,28,38
Yielded:  surrender, relinquish, obey submission.  Romans 12:1,2
Empowered:  strengthened.  Romans 8:11
Revelation:  the act of disclosing.  Ephesians 1:17,18
Something to remember is that while we are to ask God for what we want or need, that we are to ask within God's will.  This means that while we are asking we are to be willing to accept what He gives to us, which may or may not be what we asked for.  There are times that we are so overcome, so burdened by something that we want to take to the Lord in prayer but are either too distraught or cannot put our heart's feelings into words.  It is comforting to know that in these times the Holy Spirit interceeds for us (Romans 8:26,27).  We may rest in the knowledge that God knows our hearts, and cares.  When there is no one else to listen or to turn to, God is there and desires for us to pour out our hearts to Him.  He understands.  Most importantly, He is in control.
Another important aspect to discipleship is scripture memorization.  Start out with the verse or verses that you gave her to claim as her own when you counselled her.  Here are some suggestions for making memorization easier, and more fun:
1.  Quote the verse and reference the last thing before going to bed at night, and first thing when you wake in the morning,  The reference is just as important as the rest of the verse.  Sometimes it is necessary to look up the verse to find the context.  Recite the reference before and after saying the verse to be sure it is set in your mind.
2.  Try to associate the words with visual objects.  Get pictures of the verse in your mind.  You can even draw out pictures to represent words of phrases to jog your memory.  If you're not artistic, clip pictures from magazines.  Mount them to cards and put the word or phrase on the back in case you need to refresh.
3.  As you review your verses, try to write them down.
 4.  Create a tune to help you remember the verse.  Use a familiar tune or make one up.
5.  Always speak the verses out loud and distinctly as you work on them.
Remember that this is to be a nurturing relationship.  You need to learn about her, as well as sharing yourself.  Find out what her interests are, what she does for hobbies, what kind of music or books that she likes.  Use this as a springboard for finding things she can get involved with at church.  Be sure to send encouragement notes, and remember things like birthday and anniversary.  Especially remember her spiritual birthday.  If she has children, take an interest in them, know their birthdays.  They are your potential spiritual grandchildren.  Treat them as such, especially through prayer.
If she has habits or likes music and books you feel are unappropriate, be very careful how you approach this.  Music is a very sensitive subject, and when you attack someone's music you make enemies fast.  It is important to realize that music is amoral.  In and of itself it is not bad.  What makes it bad is how it effects a person or the words it may have.  A particular type of music may not effect you, but it might be a stumbling block to someone else who has negative associations with it.  Let's take Beethoven's 5th as an example.  Let's say this is your favourite piece of music.  It creates a restful atmosphere for you.  However, your neighbour had a stepfather who was a concert musician that spent most of his time out of work.  He would put on classical music, get drunk, and beat his stepchildren.  For your neighbour, hearing Beethoven's 5th may cause anxiety, she might withdraw and begin acting strange.  For her, Beethoven's 5th is a bad song because of it's association with her past, but for you it is perfectly harmless.  Many people get confused, thinking that if a particular type of music creates negative sensations in them, that is must be bad for everyone.  You must leave conviction of right and wrong to the Holy Spirit.  Afterall, that's his job on this earth.  You can gently place seeds of thought out for her and let the Holy Spirit take it from there.  If there is music and books that the language and themes are truly bad, you might ask her if she thinks Christ would approve of what she is partaking in.  Realistically, you shouldn't have to say anything more.  It may take time, but eventually appropriate changes will be made, or she will at least become open to them.  You should follow the same procedure for addressing how she dresses or talks.  In the case of profanity, it is perfectly acceptable to tell her gently that it offends you and you would prefer that she didn't speak that way in your presence.  You might also let her know that most other Christians feel the same way and that she should guard her language in church, etc.  There will come times when you have to correct her.  Afterall, that is part of parenting.  But it should be done in a gentle and loving way.  Choose your words carefully and have scripture to back you up.  Be sure to have lots of positive reinforcement ready, and that you have bathed this meeting and topic in prayer.
We should discuss the subject of Christian Liberty.  This is covered in Romans 14-15:3.  This is a source of heated debate among Christians.  Is it sinful to drink?  Is it okay to smoke or play cards?  How about going to movies or buying a lottery ticket?  There is no definite answer.  This is one area that is very subjective.  Not only does it differ from person to person, but also from culture to culture.  In essence the Bible is saying that different activities that are debated by Christians today are not in and of themselves wrong.  However, when the activity becomes excessive, or is a stumbling block to a younger Christian -- or even an unsaved person -- then it is wrong.  Drinking and smoking can easily become addictive, and therefore enslaving.  Being enslaved is certainly being in excess.  It is my opinion that in order to keep the possibility from ever happening, that you abstain completely.  However, this is between you and the Lord.  It is your responsibility to evaluate such behaviour.  Ask yourself, "Would this cause a problem for my convert?  Would it present a stumbling block to other Christians?  Would this ruin my testimony before the unsaved?"  Whether you like it or not, most unsaved have definite ideas of how Christians are to behave.  There are two verses in the passage that pretty well sums up how we should evaluate our activities: "Let us not, therefore, judge one another any more; but judge this, rather:  that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.  For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me."  Romans 14:13 and 15:3.  
Once you have gone through a series of lessons teaching her about Christian basics, you should probably move on to a series on Christ-like character or a good Bible study on biblical femininity.  If there are specific issues that she is interested in, you should spend time looking into those as well.  You can use books that have been written on these subjects, but this would be a good time to begin teaching her how to study on her own.  I would recommend these books in developing a lesson on Bible study; How to Study Your Bible, by Kay Arthur,  Off the Shelf and Into Yourself, by Terry Hall, and my pamphlet A Woman's Guide to Bible Study.
You will also need to start training her to witness to others.  This would involve teaching her one of the methods mentioned at the beginning of this booklet -- or better yet, getting her familiar with all of them.  Practice them in role play, with you acting as the unsaved person she is to counsel.  Once you feel that she understands how to have devotions, and to do her own Bible study, as well as displaying Christ-like character and is familiar with leading someone to Christ, it is time to take her out witnessing.  This would likely mean getting involved in a visitation group at church.  When she has led someone to Christ, then the two of you work together discipling this person.  It is important to let her handle the discipling.  The two of you should meet together and go over what she is going to do at the next discipling lesson.  You are to be there for moral support and answer questions that might arise.
Just like raising children, there will come a time to let your convert out on her own.  Don't just cut her off, you should keep up a relationship with her, but you won't need to meet with her each week.  Maybe you could arrange events to do together -- shopping, conferences, church activities, etc.  Trust in the leading of the Holy Spirit to let you know when it is time to let go.  Ideally, this would be once she has successfully discipled her own convert.
In order for you to be an effective discipler, you must take care to keep up your own devotions and Bible study.  Life can become hectic, and it is important that you keep some time to yourself.  You should have a quiet time each day.  When you have it is up to you and your schedule.  Try to make it at least half and hour -- an hour ideally.  Have a cup of tea or coffee, whatever your favourite drink may be.  Listen to some music, write in your journal, read a book.  Unwind.  This may feel like a guilty pleasure at first, but I assure you it is not.  As a woman, you are more susceptable to stress and strain.  In order to keep your sanity and be at your best for everyone, including yourself, it is important to unwind.  Even our Lord went off to be by Himself, apart from His disciples, and He is to be our ultimate example.
