6. Nazarene Acceleration… in Making Christlike Disciples  It took us almost 100 years to reach 1 Million in Members  In the Last 20 years We Added 1.3 Million More

7. 7 Jesus Said:  … go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing 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 to the very end of the age. Matt 28:19-20

8. 8 Jesus Said: Our Mission is … … to Make Christlike Disciples in the Nations!

9. 9 The Great Commission Sequence  The Command to “make disciples” precedes “teaching them to obey”  “Only babies who have been born can be educated. … The church must indeed ‘teach them all things,’ but first she must have at least some Christians and some congregations.”

10. 10 The Great Commission Sequence  Therefore… “the ultimate evangelistic goal in the New Testament is twofold: (1) To make responsible, reproducing Christians, and (2) responsible, reproducing congregations.” Virgil Gerber, God’s Way…, p18.

11. The Goal = Mature in Christ  “He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ.” Colossians 1:28 The Evidence = Reproduction  Maturity is not measured by continual growth, but by the capacity and willingness to reproduce.

14. Jesus Said: 2. “Ask the LORD of the harvest to send out workers…” Cannot Blame the Harvest. Lack of Workers is the Reason… Prayer is the Key to Open the Gate! 14

15. To be Effective We Need a Shift…  From Making “Christians” to Making Disciples… (3 vs. 270 times) 15

16. Focus and Method…  Focus = Biblical Discipleship… Disciples are not merely converts but also doers, learners, students, Christ followers, or better yet, “apprentices of Jesus.”  Method = Relationship Jesus invited people into relationships with himself; he loved them and in the process showed them how to follow God. His primary method was life-on-life. 16
