St. Paul tells us that the grace of faith comes through hearing the Word of Christ (Rom. 10:17). Hence, proclamation of the message of Christ, (the kerygma in Greek), is the essential component for igniting the fire of faith in a soul. There is no true evangelization without the simple, direct and integral announcement of the Good News of Jesus Christ to an individual, that is, the meaning of His Life, Death and Resurrection for them. This “initial and ardent proclamation” should “overwhelm the person and bring him to the decision to entrust himself to JesusChirst by faith” ( CT, 25).

Once a commitment or recommitment of one’s life has been made, the third phase begins. Disciples are conscious followers and students of the Lord Jesus Christ. They have a living, personal relationship with Him and require extensive formation in the Faith. This formation is to be at once systematic and integral and its goal is complete transformation of life. The fire that was ignited in the second stage will smolder and wither if it is not stoked by sound spiritual, intellectual, moral and communal teaching and mentoring. Jesus spent three years forming/discipling 12 men and then commissioned them to evangelize the world.
