Why You Should Get Involved Many Christians face the national and world situation with a sense of hopelessness and fear. Such attitudes often lead to spiritual paralysis and isolation from a world in desperate need of the love of Christ. However, an unprecedented challenge awaits men and women of faith and vision. Today, as never before in human history, our world needs disciples and disciplers--people who are willing to follow the Master in order to bring spiritual healing and biblical values to a dying generation. The harvest is ripe, the opportunities are countless. The goal of the Great Commission is nothing less than the world. However, the method of fulfilling the Great Commission is through MAKING DISCIPLES who will in turn make other REPRODUCING disciples. The meaning of the Great Commission comes into clearer focus when it is studied in the original Greek text. Only one concrete verb is part of this command--"Make disciples." (Matt. 28:18-20) As a result of following this simple strategy, the dynamic first-century church so transformed their culture that they were accused of "upsetting the world. " (Acts 17:6) If our objective is to reach the world with the Gospel, then we must do the same. Making disciples will result in an ongoing chain of disciple-making ... a process called spiritual multiplication. We need to come to grips with the simple fact that God is calling each of us to be involved in this process. This is not the Great Suggestion, but a COMMAND for all believers to obey. Disciples are made, not born. It all begins by building qualitatively into the lives of a few, even as we are evangelizing and ministering to others. YOU WERE BORN TO REPRODUCE!
OBJECTIVES The Disciple-Making Seminar is designed to help you make an "agonizing reappraisal" of your personal ministry and to provide you with a practical, step-by-step process for making disciples within the unique context of your professional spheres of influence. Spouses are strongly encouraged to attend.
