Making Disciples Who Make Disciples - Chris Moix

“The fruit of disciple-making really doesn’t land in the fact of ‘Have I made a disciple?’ but ‘Can I make a disciple that can make another one?’”

After several years in the ministry, Chris Moix came to a realization that he had never actually made a disciple. Through a myriad of circumstances, he began to model his discipleship philosophies after the example of Jesus, and began creating disciples that in turn became disciple-makers. #NAFWB

Chris serves as lead pastor of Harrah Church in Oklahoma.
