Go Make Disciples: Ten Actions that Facilitate Reproductive Disciple-Making

OBJECTIVE
Lay plans to model reproducible methods in every facet of making disciples.

OUTCOME
Local disciples implement methods that reproduce new believers, disciples, cells and leaders.

DEFINITIONS
Disciples: those who practice together loving obedience to Jesus’ commandments. 
Disciple-making: teaching others to obey together Jesus’ commandments.
Training: making disciples of those who make disciples of others.

PRINCIPLE
The making of loving, obedient disciples remains a basic, ceaseless requirement for birth, growth and reproduction of Christian cells, churches, missions and movements.
NOTE
The following ten actions may occur simultaneously or in any order.

1. MODEL Mark 1:35-39
Convictions
● Demonstrate every activity in ways that others can imitate immediately in their work with others.
● Keep every activity so simple and imitable, that anyone can do the same with others.

Compare John 13:15-17; 2 Timothy 3:10-11; 1 Peter 5:2-3

2. OBEY Matthew 28:18-20
Convictions
● Teach all seekers and believers to obey Jesus’ general commandments above all else.
● Require of others to do nothing more than what Jesus has commanded.
Compare  John 14:15; 15:14; Acts 2:26-47; 2 Corinthians 2:9; 1 John 5:3

3. GATHER Acts 2:42-43
Convictions
● Gather seekers and disciples only to praise Jesus and to obey his commands.
● Keep all gatherings interactive, so that each one’s spiritual gifts may manifest.
Compare Luke 8:39; Acts 2:46; Romans 16:5; 2 John 1:10

4. TEACH Matthew 24:37-39 
Convictions
● Teach truth first from Bible stories that learners will be able to share with others, in turn.
● Teach through dialogue, so that we learn needs, and everyone learns from each other.
Compare Luke 6:40; Acts 2:42; 1 Corinthians 14:24-31; Colossians 1:28

5. COACH Mark 6:7-8, 30-31
Convictions
● Empower the willing to make disciples of others, in ways that we have modelled.
● Coach willing workers who prove able to coach others to do the same, in turn.
Compare Exodus 18:22; Matthew 13:52; Acts 18:26-27

6. LOVE 2 Timothy 1:2-4
Convictions
● Maintain inter-personal relations with disciples who do the same with others.
● Make disciples mainly in small groups that practice together all that they learn together.
Compare Acts 20:4-6, 31-35; John 13:34; Romans 12:10; Hebrews 10:24-25

7. EVANGELISE Luke 24:46-48
Convictions
● Let the Good News flow mainly through existing families and friendships.
● Let everyone tell the Good News to others in ways that fit their culture and personality.
Compare Acts 2:21-24, 38; 1 Corinthians 15:3-5; 1 Peter 3:15

8. REPORT Colossians 1:5-8
Convictions
● Have every disciple report on how he obeyed Jesus, in the past week, and on what happened.
● Have every disciple tell how he will obey Jesus, this week, and will help others to do the same.
Compare Mark 6:30; Acts 20:4; Ephesians 6:21

9. TRACK Acts 6:1, 7
Convictions
● Allow every disciple to start making disciples of others, as soon as God allows.
● Keep track of disciples’ disciples to their third generation, coaching them in how to coach others.
Compare Matthew 9:35; Acts 6:1-7; Romans 15:19

10. REPRODUCE Acts 14:21-23
Convictions
● Let new discipleship cells spring up anywhere, before holding big meetings.
● Appoint as cell leaders only those individuals who have made disciples of others.
Compare John 15:5; Acts 19:9-10; Titus 1:5
