The Disciple Making Pastor (Trawas)
The focus of a church's staff, leadership, and core congregation is not to be inward, but outward. The church's mission is penetration into the world, as its metaphors instruct us. Salt, light, leaven, army, ambassadors, pilgrims, all denote movement and penetration. The church grows when members become more effective in penetration. The crisis at the heart of the church is a crisis of product. What kind of person does the church produce? The Christ-commanded product is a person called a disciple. Jesus described a disciple as one who abides in him, is obedient, bears fruit, glorifies God, has joy, and loves. - Introduction
