Making Healthy Disciples I, Workshop Are You Maintaining Programs or Making Disciples?
This workshop teaches a biblically based philosophy and strategy for making healthy disciples at every age level through local church ministry. Developed by Alliance disciple-makers, this training is making a difference in how leaders and teachers think about and do ministry. Why MHD Training?
The Making Healthy Disciples (MHD) workshop is designed to challenge the thinking and move the hearts of local church leaders, teachers and workers from merely running programs to an intentional people-focused, disciple-making ministry agenda. MHD offers participants a clear biblical strategy for making healthy, balanced disciples at every age level.

1. Is our church merely conducting programs or intentionally making disciples? 2. Do our leaders, teachers and wortkers know what a healthy-discipled student looks like at each age level—children, youth and adult? 3. Do people know the purpose and value of the ministry programs we offer? 4. Do we randomly choose curricula based on hot topics and popular authors, or do we have a curriculum master plan designed t deliver a balanced spiritual diet to every student?
