We can reach our nation for God with an army of small group leaders like you who long to see a doubling group movement. We can reach our nation for Christ.
“If you wish to build a ship, do not divide the men into teams and send them to the forest to cut wood. Instead, teach them to long for the vast and endless sea.” ― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
We can reach America with an army of small group leaders like you who have a vision for a doubling group movement every two years or less. We can do it. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. We can be obedient to what God told us to do. I want to do that, don’t you?
The Doubling Group Movement
Think of it. There are approximately 320,000 churches in America. There are approximately 24 million people attending church on any given weekend and a little over 2 million group leaders. Suppose half, or a fourth, or even a tenth of the group leaders in America committed to doubling their groups 10 times in the next 20 years. Suppose, like Gideon’s army, we had only 25,000 group leaders from various denominations and churches on board. If each one doubled every two years or less, we would reach America in a little past 20 years.

I think God would be pleased if we would do that. But it would be nothing special. We would only be doing what God told us to do. Luke 17:10 reminds us that this is no big deal: “So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’” I hate to think what God would say if we didn’t do what he told us to do!
