My dream is to help the church double in the next 20 years. I want to help my denomination reach 20 million in Sunday School attendance by the year 2020. I want to see the number of God-worshiping people double in the next 20 years. I want to ask you to help. I often asked my seminar host at the end of a trip, "What advice do you have for me?" One host wisely responded, "I think you are going to need a lot of help." He is right. I am going to need a lot of help. I want to ask you to help. You can do three things to help the church double in the next 20 years.
Where are you on this journey? Have you learned to double your class? If not, learn it! Do you know how to double your class? Live it! We need examples in every church that it is possible to double a group every two years or less. Are you doubling a class every two years or less? Teach it to others. One way to do this is to ask fellow pastors you know, and fellow Sunday School teachers to join this list. This email list gives me the opportunity to give regular instruction, inspiration and vision casting about doubling. I have asked God many times why He gave me this dream. I don't pastor a large, nationally known church. I don't hold a high level denominational position. I am just a normal guy with a big, big dream. I want to ask you to help. The dream is to double. It is all about one word: double. Jesus told us about two faithful servants who doubled and one who didn't. To the two who doubled the Master said, "Well done." To the one who didn't, he said, "You wicked, lazy servant." I want to be the faithful servant who doubles. I want to ask you to help. | ||||
