Multiply

You can have a different life, and this will bring up many questions. How can I have a different life? I cannot afford a different life, and how much will this new life change me? 

When most people hear God’s big story, they think it is about others, not about
them. Their observation seems logical, but nothing could be further from the
truth. That’s why it is so important to help people see their place in God’s big
story.

God’s Word defines obedience as actively hearing, trusting, and surrendering to God's will. By obeying the commands of Jesus, it reflects a believer’s trust and commitment to Him. 

Christian discipleship is not primarily about knowing new ideas or even about
having spiritual experiences. Being a disciple of Jesus is first and foremost
about obeying him. It is through that obedience that we honor God with our
love, and we experience his presence in new and meaningful ways as he makes
his home with us.

Every time you proclaim Christ, every time you announce his love, every time you lift up the name of Jesus you are resisting the Adversary. Every time you clearly and truthfully proclaim the word of God, you are advancing the Kingdom of God.

We have a wonderful opportunity to mobilize many followers of Jesus to go and complete God’s plan for every heart, every household, and every village. This is why we need to disciple so that there is a gathering of disciples to grow together in Christ to change households and villages.

Church planting is like farming. To succeed at either you must work hard on the
task that must be done today while planning well for the tasks that will soon
need to be done. Some church planters struggle with this. They either focus
too much on the present or too much on the future. How can a new church
planter find the right balance? The Four Fields Model can help.

May each of us be faithful in the responsibilities entrusted to us. As we do so, we qualify ourselves for promotion and greater responsibility. 

The Four Fields Model is the basic instruction ordinary Christians need in order
to plant and multiply churches. It’s a great model because it is simple, easy to
understand, and repeatable.

Peter shared during our conversation that as a VCP Supervisor, he invests much time in the field “inspecting the work.”
