The Great Commission
Go, and make disciples in all the nations
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Spirit teaching them to
obey everything I have commanded you. And, lo, I
will be with you always, even to the end of the
age. Matthew 2818-20

Principles of Movements I
1. One person or a small group are challenged by
a Bible truth, usually a conviction issue.
2. Some specific area of need (their own
community or a mission field) becomes a target
audience/area where the conviction needs to be
applied. One or more individuals feels called to
go and meet the need.
3. The person proclaims the gospel, doing
evangelism, and discipling those who respond
some converts, some Christians who respond to the
vision. Focus on character and multiplication
training.

Principles of Movements II
4. The ministry is build using a multiplication
philosophy and a community of spirit (a new
church) is formed within the new converts.
Training is used to prepare workers to quickly
extend the work to a wider target area. Both
showing and telling the gospel are important.
5. Either a broader mission is chosen or the
movement levels out into a stable church
environment. Eventually a mission, a church and a
leadership training methodology is established
and institutionalized. Cities are morally and
spiritually transformed.
