Small Groups Help Believers Fulfill the Great Commission Together

[The Christian Post] 6 Jul 2006--The problem is that the harvest is plentiful, the workers are few, and our certification and training processes have created a tremendous bottleneck. “If only more qualified leaders would walk through the doors of my church, then these problems would be solved.” But, is this the mission that we are called to?

I believe that we have made this way too complicated. The Great Commission commands every believer to “Go and make disciples of all nations...” (Matthew 28:19-20). How are we equipping every believer in our congregations to make disciples? Our excuse is often that our members need more training before they can lead others. We continue to train, and the harvest continues to wither.
