It is the purpose of God and the task of His people to develop disciples. A disciple is someone whose life is focused on God and others.
Love is the telling earmark.
Therefore, all development strategies must be centered around continually bringing people to the place where they must choose whether to surrender to God's grace. That place of choice is found wherever sin is exposed and hunger for God is aroused. In that place, the Gospel can speak to hungry and sinful people, and people must choose. For some, it will be a place of sweet relief from a burden far too heavy to carry. For others, it will be an angry, difficult, and defensive place.
