As you continue to grow and change over the years, your strengths, weaknesses, and needs will change. In particular, your involvement in regular ministry will serve to highlight new areas where improvement and growth are needed that you may have never seen before. Thus, in light of these new developments, a new Action Plan will need to be periodically developed.
On an annual basis, you and your mentor likely will need to return to Step 7 and develop a new plan that can address these issues in the most effective fashion. Then the entire process will repeat. The "cyclical" nature of the Discipleship Training program ought to continue throughout one's entire life because although we continue to mature in Christ by the grace of God, we can always strive further in our devotion and service to him. |
