Discipleship Ministry

Discipleship is . . .

  • Helping people connect with Jesus and with others.
  • Equipping them to get close to Jesus and stay there.
  • Reconciling our corrupted worldview with a Kingdom worldview.
  • Desiring an intimacy with Christ that is to be lived out in the world.

Jill Shaw is very involved in New Zealand through Campus Ministry and Discipleship. A graduate of both Johnson Bible College and Cincinnati Christian Seminary, Jill lived at Mashoko Mission in Zimbabwe, where she discipled, taught high school, edited mission publications, taught at Zimbabwe Christian College, and managed famine & AIDS projects during the stretch of 1984 -1997.

Present ministries:

•Chaplaincy @ Massey University – staff, students & internationals, National Conference of Chaplains, blog & resources, counseling, evangelism, networking.

•Discipleship & LifeGroups via Shore Community Christian Church includes Discipler Equipping Seminars, writing materials and consulting on small groups for other congregations, and spiritual formation consultation.

•Refuge House & Refugee Resettlement serving wounded & growing women & refugees.

•Mentoring missionaries & encouraging Spiritual Formation through networks worldwide.

Whether it is in leading a Bible study, chaplaincy at Massey University, starting a women’s refuge, planning retreats, one-on-one discipling, relationships, or social activities for children or youth, discipleship drives Jill’s ministry, fulfilling a major component of Jesus’ last command to us in Matthew 28. Shifting gears many times each day in New Zealand where she has served since 1999, Jill attempts to contextualize the Gospel in different situations depending upon the hearer. Jill gets to experience anew how living and active God’s Word is, and how thirsty people are for grace & truth. Public speaking, discipling, Bible studies, mentoring missionaries and Christian camp ministries keep Jill busy when she is in the US.
