“Go and
make disciples of all nations…”
Who are
you discipling? And who is discipling you?
I know I
am not the first person to ask those questions, but they bear repeating…because
two thousand years after the Church was commissioned, the mission remains
unfulfilled.
And
visiting Colombia made me realize the impact believers who ACT LIKE DISCIPLES
can make.
I sat in
a meeting at the church—a meeting of an entire network. The Pastora (the
Pastor’s wife) has twelve leaders, just like her husband does. And one of her
twelve called a meeting for the twelve leaders she is training, who are
discipling people in their homes. They invited the twelve leaders they are
training… They call this a network, but I call it fulfilling the Great
Commission.
It never ends.
Disciples
who make disciples who make disciples…
Leaders
who train leaders who train leaders…
It never ends.
There is
a trickle-down passion for prayer, evangelism, discipleship, worship, and
leadership development.
And that
is why the House of Prayer Church of the Nazarene in Cali can claim the most
impressive growth rate of the denomination, with 14,000 in attendance each
Sunday.
And I began to wonder what it would look
like if my home church adopted this strategy.
What
would it look like if YOUR CHURCH practiced this?
So I’ll
ask it again:
Who are you discipling?
Who is discipling you?
