Spiritual Multiplication

Tony meets with his student leaders once a week. One of the topics they were discussing recently was Spiritual Multiplication. He shared this mathematical description of how effective we can be in sharing our faith. It really opened up the students eyes to how the Lord can use them and how strategic and effective they can be in ministry. But, this idea isn't only geared for students...it works with all walks of life in every capacity. Below is what Tony shared with his guys:

Let’s say you shared your faith with 1,000 people a day over the course of 21 years. How many people would have heard about Christ? Roughly 7.6 million people. Not bad, you deserve a vacation. But let’s say you led just 3 people to Christ this year, discipled them, taught them how to share their faith and then sent them out to do the same. The next year they each lead 3 people to Christ, disciple them, teach them to share their faith and send them out to do the same. Where are we with this process at the end of 21 years? 10.5 billion people. Guys, can you imagine what would happen if just the 7 of us decided to get serious about fulfilling the great commission? We could fulfill Christ’s mandate to the church to proclaim the gospel to the whole world in about 20 years!
