Key Points From This Episode:
- 80% of decisions for Christ are made before people turn 18 years old.
- High school and middle school campuses are places of ripe harvest. Satan has overplayed his hand, and this generation is hungry for Jesus.
- Event and program based youth ministry caused one leader to ask the question, how many disciples have I made who have then gone on to make other disciples? He came up empty.
- Shifting to a DMM or disciple multiplication approach is costly and you have to know its God’s leading. john says, “I know this is God’s heart because it’s His command.”
- Take the initiative in the power of the Holy Spirit and leave the results to God- Bill Bright quote
- The whole purpose of the church is to fulfill the great commission.
-Train but then host “harvest times” where students can experience sharing Christ with others alongside mentors and learn in the field. - Ruthlessly evaluate what you are doing in light of the great commission and the fruit you are hoping to see.
- Bible literacy in America is at an all-time low. Many students don’t even know and have never heard of John 3:16 even.
- John said, I lost a lot of numbers and I lost funding, but I gained disciples who wanted to make more disciples.
