Multiplying

Highly engaged in the Great Commission, making new disciples who make disciples.

"My goal is to become more like Christ and help others become more like Christ (and come to know Christ if they don't already)."

People in the Multiplying stage think Christian maturity includes a wide range of disciplines and so regularly participate and lead in a variety of spiritual activities. With a desire to be used by God to reach their community and church, they regularly share their faith in different settings. This happens relationally and also directly. They want to help their disciples have a better life, and they often train them to disciple others.

What people in Multiplying say

“If we are not making disciples, then can we really call ourselves Christ followers?”

“Everyone has cancer, and I have the only cure. It would be incredibly selfish of me not to get the word out.”

“I also encourage [young men in my small group] to share their faith with Christians, but I tell them if they meet someone who is not a believer, try to make them think and discover God.”

“Sharing Christ with others and seeing them touched by the gospel and the love of God has deeply blessed me. I always thought that going for mission trip is about being a blessing to others but without fail, I [have] always felt more blessed when I came back.”
