Every believer has both the responsibility and the capability to engage in disciple-making movements. The problem? Many Christians do not understand what discipleship is. But C. Anderson talks about the priesthood of all believers—the direct access that every Christian has to the King of kings. He empowers us to take part in His story.
Can we really evangelize the world in this generation? Can the Great Commission truly be fulfilled in this lifetime? C. Anderson thinks it is, but before that happens we need a massive paradigm shift. We must recognize that every member of the body of Christ has a role to play in God’s epic mandate. Every disciple must embrace their role for which they were created.
C. Anderson gives 2 examples of women involved in disciple-making movements (DMM). As you watch, you’ll be inspired to start your own vision today. Why? Because DMMs are led by ordinary people.
We oftentimes make the mistake in thinking that comfort and security are paramount in the Christian walk. C. Anderson walks you through her tumultuous missionary kid upbringing concerns and shows that God is in control even in the difficult times. But when we’re out of our comfort zone and in a touch position, God draws us toward Himself and reveals a new horizon.
Are you dreaming God-sized dreams? Too often our plans are too small. God wants us to believe for multiplication—family, friends, and strangers coming to Christ in numbers. And He wants us to dream for those who are yet still afar off, beyond the cultural, geographical, and linguistic boundaries that are natural to us.
