Abstract
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.
