Professor at the Zinzendorf School of Doctoral Studies, Dr. Chansamone Saiyasak, presented his ideas on disciplemaking in Asia's Buddhist Context in a recently new paper.  Entitled "Disciplemaking in Asia's Buddhist Context," Dr. Saiyasak wrote that the situation "postulates that disciplemaking is the crux of Christ's command and thus the goal of the Church and mission in Asia's Buddhist context urgently calls for serious discipleship and disciplemaking. Christ's mandate, known to us as the Great Commission, is to make disciples."

Referencing from (Matthew 28:19-20 RSV)  "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age," Dr. Saiyasak's paper looked into the topics of:

The Meaning of Discipleship and Disciplemaking
The Importance of Disciplemaking
The Urgency of Disciplemaking in Asia’s Buddhist Context
Cultural Conflict
Cultural Differences That Impact Disciplemaking
The Clash of Values/Worldviews
Social, Political and Economic Restrictions that Hinder Disciplemaking
Suggestions for Disciplemaking Model for Asia’s Buddhist Context

Dr. Chansamone Saiyasak presented the paper at last month's Doctoral Colloquium.  He currently serves as President of Mekong Evangelical Mission, President of Asian Society of Missiology, and President of Mekong Bible Seminary in Thailand.  He is also a Professor of Religious Studies & Missiology, Zinzendorf School of Doctoral Studies at Olivet University, San Francisco, USA.
