Jesus told us to make disciples of all the nations, and to teach them all that He taught. Using the addition approach, it would take more than 14,750 years of reaching 1,000 people each day, to reach the present population of the world, if the population never increased. But, multiplying by 2 for just over 32 cycles will reach it. The mass approach is not enough. I rejoice at what Christian television and radio are doing, but they are not the whole answer.
Statistics show only a small percentage of unbelievers tune in to Christian programs.
Babies, whether natural or spiritual, will not do well without personal attention. It is too easy for the devil to deceive a new Christian when they are off by themselves, without anyone to help or encourage them. The present structure of the church is unable to contain and care for a mass inflow of new converts, and turn them into disciple-making Christians. The prevalent organizational structure is not capable of maintaining care of people and contact with them as the church grows large. Even at our present size, too many people are neglected and allowed to wither away.
