History
A few years ago, the following questions started churning through our community of believers here in the Western Cape, South Africa: What did Jesus mean by “Go and make disciples…” during his last recorded conversation on earth? What is the significance of those words and are we really making disciples?
As our community wrestled with these questions, we experienced momentous life change. Similar themes and principles were affirmed during conversations, both within the group and with others. This website (and book) is a collection of these themes. Our discipleship community has discovered treasures we wished we knew long ago — glimpses of heaven in our community, and echoes of heaven impacting the world.
The title “Fishing for the Village” is a phrase we use within our discipleship community which we borrowed from a Fijian friend of ours. In short, when we fish (do something), we fish for the village (for the benefit of the entire community). With this mindset, our community has experienced a taste of heaven on earth. The title also refers to discipling (fishing). Our hope is that communities will impact the world by fishing villages.
