An apprentice is a person legally bound through indenture to a master craftsman in order to learn a trade.
Jesus says, "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men". Following is the call at hand. No matter whether one talks about the missional church, or missional leadership or an apprentice, the active work of following must be of greatest priority. This following will come out of a relationship of love and obedience. It will demand times of silence and contemplation as well as movement and action.
And Jesus says, "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men"
I suspect FOLLOW is synnonomous to OBEDIENCE...

"The word "disciple" occurs 269 times in the New Testament. "Christian" is found only three times and was first introduced to refer precisely to the disciples... The New Testament is a book about disciples, by disciples, and for disciples of Jesus Christ."
"Churches (today)are filled with undiscipled disciples... Most problems in contemporary churches can be explained by the fact that members have not yet decided to follow Jesus." ~ Dallas Willard
