Go & Make Disciples by WAYNE ALCORN
‘Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”’ (Matthew 28:18- 20 NIV)
What must we do if we take the Great Commission seriously? I posed this question at our PanAsia conference in August, where I listened to incredible story after story from our ACCI field workers. It was inspiring! Our movement has always been committed to train leaders to go into the world and make disciples. Evangelism, missions and church planting are at the very heart of who we are. Jesus said, “I will build My church’ and commissioned us, His disciples, to go and make disciples of all nations. Planting dynamic new churches is a key part of the strategy to make disciples. As C. Peter Wagner stated, “The single most effective evangelistic methodology under heaven is planting new churches.” (ref Church Planting for a Greater Harvest). Many people are waiting for a move of God; but maybe He is waiting for a move of us? It’s time to become strategic about the Great Commission. Here are five things to include in our strategy.
