THE RIPPLE EFFECT: The Art of Discipleshipنموونە

THE GREAT COMMISSION

In the stillness of a pond, a single pebble can create ripples that expand far beyond its point of entry. This simple image holds a profound truth, particularly when it comes to the concept of being a force multiplier. As someone familiar with missions and working in other countries, I've seen firsthand how impactful this approach can be—in theory and in practice.

The assignment in these missions wasn't to simply accomplish tasks but to empower others to sustain the mission long after we had gone. This is the very heartbeat of the Great Commission. It's not just about going—it's about growing others. It's about teaching, baptizing, and walking alongside people so that they, too, can go and do the same.

Discipleship isn't about creating followers of us—it's about creating followers of Christ who will carry the message forward. When we disciple with intention and obedience, we multiply impact in a way that outlives our presence and outlasts our time. This is the ripple effect in motion: a Kingdom movement that spreads from one life to another, one nation to the next.
