In 2014, Missions agency A with multiplication at heart trained 21,300 workers who began nearly 14,000 churches in one year. In the same year, Missions Agency B with an agenda to start one church at a time trained 5,600 workers who started 985 churches. There’s a stark contrast here and it’s all based on desired training outcomes. What are your expectations and do you train accordingly? If you’ll commit to make disciples who can make disciples of others should be bedrock, since it is Jesus’ edict to us all (Matthew 28:18-20).

In 2014, Missions agency A with multiplication at heart trained 21,300 workers who began nearly 14,000 churches in one year. In the same year, Missions Agency B with an agenda to start one church at a time trained 5,600 workers who started 985 churches. There’s a stark contrast here and it’s all based on desired training outcomes. What are your expectations and do you train accordingly? If you’ll commit to make disciples who can make disciples of others should be bedrock, since it is Jesus’ edict to us all (Matthew 28:18-20).

Jesus taught His disciples to win households and then villages. He sent them out two by two in Luke 10 to be accepted by houses of peace. In Acts 10, Peter saw Cornelius’ whole household (oikos) believe along with his household. Paul saw Lydia and the Philippian jailer believe along with their entire household (Acts 16).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation="" row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" background_color="#1c1e3f" padding_top="10" padding_bottom="10" css=".vc_custom_1454117862771{margin-top: 10px !important;margin-bottom: 10px !important;}"][vc_column][vc_column_text]

What works for witnessing, works for disciple-making, and church multiplication.

Missions Agency B typically uses lecture methods focused on doctrine that must be gotten only from highly-literate seminary graduates. Your leaders can train other leaders very quickly. They don’t need to be seminary graduates (although that’s not a bad thing at all!).
