The Discipleship Family Series
Walk through a Christian bookstore and many of the materials you see are imported from wealthy Western countries. Even when translated, they may not speak to Filipino conditions. Therefore, REACH felt an urgent need for materials written by Filipinos for Filipinos. We incorporated our rich heritage to convey discipleship principles.
We developed Bible study booklets and scripture memory programs to sustain the growth of discipleship communities.
The Discipleship Family Series (DFS) is a progressive Bible study series. It guides a disciple from new birth in Christ to maturity as a leader in the community of disciples.
