Through cell groups all members become evangelists to their neighborhoods. Each cell group targets one individual that they not only pray for, but begin to reach out and minister to throughout the year. As a result of each group just reaching one person for Christ in a year, thousands are reached. It is evangelism done as a team. Several other important factors are mentioned as well.

Also, Cho warns that cells won't work apart from the senior pastor's lead of the charge. A number of other churches have also failed in trying to establish home cell groups because the pastor was not directly involved. I always tell pastors who attend my church growth seminars that, if they do not take charge personally, their cell leaders and their members are not going to be motivated, and the system will fail. That's a goal for all of us as we strive to pastor our people, both in large gatherings and through small groups.
