Holistic ministry is essential for effective discipleship, as demonstrated in how Jesus did restoration with repentance. Holistic ministry is means to effective discipleship:

THE GREAT COMMISSION
UVCC Preaching Theme
Series Description:
Have you ever wondered what our top priority is as followers of Jesus? If you said "making disciples," you're absolutely right. However, there’s a problem: many believers aren't prioritizing this mission. Instead, they often lead individualistic lives, thinking they believe in Jesus while failing to obey Him particularly when it comes to sharing the Gospel with the unsaved.
We need to wake up and see that many of our friends and relatives are still lost and have not yet accepted Christ. If we truly love them, we must take action to lead them to Him. It's our responsibility to share the message of salvation and encourage them to become followers of Jesus, guiding them on their spiritual journey so they can experience the hope and transformation that comes from knowing Him.
Jesus entrusted His church with the Great Commandment, which consists of three main parts: making disciples by encouraging people to repent and follow Him, baptizing those who choose to become disciples as a symbol of their transformation from an old life to a new life in Christ, and teaching these disciples to obey His commands, highlighting the importance of living in accordance with His teachings. Together, these elements form the foundation of the church's mission.
* People need to hear the Gospel and be discipled. The church of Jesus Christ must awaken
