For years, churches have overlooked their most valuable asset for fulfilling their assigned mission. Ironically, this neglected spiritual resource is their own membership’s newest believers. Why are these fledgling Christians often so effective in terms of outreach? They are typically overflowing with inner joy and still share natural relational bridges with non-Christian family members and friends. Potentially, each one can learn to testify spontaneously. Your church’s trained disciple-makers will soon be walking alongside these new Christians, showing them how to respond to daily witnessing opportunities. Through their example, many will learn to share their faith as a lifestyle and learn how to personally encourage and equip others. This simple life-to-life discipling process is the way spiritual multiplication begins and grows in a healthy church environment

Make Disciples – The Life-Changing Ministry of Why
Following Christ means making disciples. His words echo in the back of our minds, “Go therefore and make disciples . . . ” (Matthew 28:19). Not first and foremost “have daily devotions” or “give to the poor,” but make disciples. We don’t become a Christian by making disciples, but once we are in Christ, few things come closer to capturing the heart of our calling while we’re still here on earth.
