Lord, We’ve Made A Few Adjustments To Your Plan
I believe this is what many Christian leaders have been looking for. This approach has already demonstrated that it has the full potential to change the world. Think about what Jesus did with just one body. He reached out to twelve others. Then they reached out to subsequent lives that were touched, changed, and transformed. Go back and look at Jesus’ system again. It sounds like it is too simplistic to reach billions of people. Yet it has spanned thousands of years and saved billions of people.

We are trying and falling short by using our system. Our system looks very much like Jesus’ system. However, it has a few flaws in it. Those flaws are bring addition and multiplication type growth to our outreach. Jesus’ system brings exponential growth to our outreach. When a mighty move of God takes place, people get excited and spread the message. When a mighty effort of human works takes place, people get fatigued and discouraged. We can all tell the difference between church growth through the Holy Spirit and church growth through human effort.
