Multiplication
The Whole World Reached in 35 Years!
Our task is to make disciples, who then make disciples. In other words, we should be disciple-makers who make more disciple-makers. Multiplication occurs when each disciple can reproduce. Addition occurs when someone comes to faith in Christ and does not reproduce. Our task is multiplication. If one Christian made one disciple every year, teaching others to do the same, the world would be reached in 35 years. If one house church plants another house church every year, teaching others to do the same, the world would be reached in 32 years. Both models are displayed:
Individual Discipleship:
The world reached in 35 years... if one Christian made one disciple every year, teaching others to do the same.
Church Multiplication:
The world reached in 32 years... if one house church plants a new house church every year and teaches others to do the same.
"We want to measure the church's sending capacity more than its seating capacity." (Church 3.0 - Neil Cole)
