My friends at a simple church (photo by Caryn Werner)<\/p><\/div>\n
I\u2019ve noticed significant differences among groups I\u2019ve trained to make disciples and plant simple churches. Some groups have gone on to start multiplying groups of disciples (simple churches) that have multiplied to the third and fourth generation. In other cases, very few, if any, new disciples were made and churches were planted. What made the difference?<\/em><\/p>\n
Every single time the biggest difference has been follow up and coaching!<\/p>\n
4 things leaders should do after a Disciple Making Training <\/strong><\/h3>\n
1. Beware of Ministry Busy-ness<\/strong> \u2013 In Luke 10, Jesus sent out 36 teams of two to enter specific pockets of people who weren\u2019t yet acquainted with Jesus and the message of the kingdom. He warned them, \u201cDon\u2019t stop to talk to anyone along the way.\u201d<\/em> Be aware of the distractions that come from endless ministry opportunities that may present themselves. Make reaching and establishing groups of disciples in new pockets of people first \u2013priority.<\/p>\n
