Abstract
This paper addresses discipleship in history with implication in the training of young people for mission in the contemporary time. The paper surveys literature in both the Old and New Testament time, picking useful experiences that can inspire the training and involvement of young people today in mission. Based on findings in this paper, the researcher recommends that involvement of young people in God’s mission is a necessity in the contemporary times. When trained, young people can do great thing for God as seen in the history of the Old and New Testament times. Therefore, there is a serious need of getting young people involved in God’s mission in the contemporary time both in local churches and in higher organizations of the church.
