Live video-conferencing now provides the opportunity for discipling to take place with very few geographical boundaries.    |

  I personally have utilized live video to disciple and train as close as Prescott, AZ and as far away as Munich, Germany.   Although it is not the same as sitting face  to face with someone it is very personal and effective, providing a  dynamic experience that you do not have with a normal phone call.  mic experience that you do not have with a normal phone call. 
  
Don't  be intimidated by the technology -- it is very easy to use. Programs  like Skype or FaceTime (for mac users) are free and easy!! All you need  is a webcam and internet connection. Listen to what some of our  disciplers are saying about video discipling:
   
  
 For us, meeting from camera to camera, mic to mic was almost like having our disciplers in our home.  There are a few things you might miss from not actually being together  but nothing that hinders influence, impact, or the opportunity to grow  in a gospel relationship in any way.   (Clark and Tricia)
  
 I like it because it is very focused.  Concepts and principles are received the same when skyping as you would in person. (Susan)
  
 Discipling  is so much more than taking a course because it offers someone speaking  into your life. The things you learn become yours. Since the CTO  materials not only prod us to think differently but also live  differently, discussing the materials through live video was by no means  a knowledge assignment..., I feel the distance discipling was indeed effective. (Jeff)
  
 Would you recommend Distance Discipling? 
  
 It  is definitely worth giving it a try... it's very rewarding.  It might  not work for everyone but it has worked well for us. (Bob and Susan).
  
 There  is even a distinct advantage to distance discipling because it's  actually a lot easier to hold regular appointments. People may not be  able to set aside an evening to meet, but to talk on the phone or  through video conferencing for a while fits in much easier! (Jeff)
  
 WE  NEED YOU!!! We have regular requests from all over the United States  from individuals and couples who want to be discipled but there is no  one in their area. God wants to use what you have learned to help  others!!!
