Recovering the Lost Art of Discipleship to Jesus Christ
Proximity Ministries is a discipleship-driven mission aiming to recover the lost art of discipleship and to promote the early church model as recorded in the biblical book of Acts when Jesus Christ, close relationships, and discipleship-apologetics were the pillars of Christianity (Acts 2:42–47).
