    Discipleship and Formation: Comboni As A Model
    (2003) Besigye, Christopher
    This essay argues that to become a disciple, one should be willing to listen, learn and be with the Master. What we have found challenging is to go beyond our human limits and abandon ourselves into the hands of the Master. This helps the disciples to follow the Master in facing whatever difficulties and problems in their Christian life. Daniel Comboni an ideal disciple challenges us in his life to be faithful disciples. Religious formation should help the Candidates to be themselves, and to avoid pretence. This enables them to grow to Christian and religious maturity. This work is divided into five Chapters. In Chapter One, we explain the terms disciple, and discipleship with emphasis on formation in the formation house. Secondly, we also present Daniel Comboni and Comboni Missionaries. The second Chapter deals with discipleship in the Bible. We underline discipleship and the formation of disciples in both the Old and the New Testaments. We conclude this Chapter with the cost of discipleship. The third Chapter presents Comboni as a model of discipleship, his call, and his cost of discipleship and as an ideal disciple for the Christians. This is followed by Chapter four, which deals with the formation of Comboni Missionaries and the challenges of our formation. The fifth Chapter presents the summary of the previous Chapters with proposals and suggestions regarding the formation.
