Disciple Making Principle: Anticipate Rapid Reproduction

One of the most striking characteristics of Church Planting Movements is the speed at which they grow and multiply. This is due in part to the focus on rapid reproduction, but also to the fact that these movements often occur in areas with high population density and a high degree of social connectivity.

Rapid reproduction is facilitated by the use of simple, reproducible models of church planting and disciple making, as well as a reliance on lay leadership and small, informal gatherings of believers. This allows for new churches to be started quickly and easily, without the need for extensive resources or external support.

Healthy churches are characterized by a vibrant worship life, a commitment to sharing the Gospel with others, a willingness to serve their communities, a focus on discipleship and education, and a deep sense of community and fellowship among members.

Prayer Point:

God, we pray for joyful, faith-filled disciples within movements, to see rapid reproduction of disciples, churches, and leaders. We ask for you to bless disciple makers in Gaziantep reaching out to the Syrian Arabs living there. Help them to remember to use simple, reporiducible models of church planting and disciple making. Jesus do not let your Church be overwhelmed and distracted by complicated, traditional church practices that weigh down believers and hinder rapid multiplication among the lost. Lord, you say the Syrian Arabs are ripe for harvest, so God bring them into your Kingdom today! May they experience new life.
