Four Kinds of Disciples
Trainers | Share the gospel, start new groups and train them to repeat the process Kingdom growth by multiplication |
The VISION Barrier inward focus – lack of generational foresight – too much control | |
Starters | Share the gospel, start new groups Kingdom growth stops at 2nd generation |
The PERMISSION Barrier no permission to start new groups – pass disciple-making off to “specialists” | |
Witnesses | Share the gospel, take new people to existing groups Kingdom growth by addition only |
The CONFIDENCE Barrier afraid to witness – make excuses – pass evangelism off to “gifted people” | |
Attenders | Don’t share, don’t start groups, don’t train others No kingdom growth |
