All my life I have longed to see a doubling group movement. I have studied and prayed and read and researched and tried and had some success and tried again and failed. I am writing to ask for some help.
I am reading an intriguing book called Who Not
How. It is on the topic of teamwork. I am reminded of the words of John Maxwell who said, “One is too small a number to accomplish anything of greatness.” Want to join the team?
Here is what I am thinking…
- In order to see an army of small group leaders who are committed to doubling, we will need an army of pastors who lead by example. We need an army of pastors who will regularly stand
before their people and say, “I am in a group that is doubling; I want you to be in a group that is doubling.” It is impossible for me to imagine we will see a doubling group movement if the opposite is true. If laymen see their pastor and staff are not in groups that are doubling they will think that being in a group that is doubling is either not possible or not important.
- In order to see an army of pastors that regularly stand before their people
and say, “I am in a group that is doubling; I want you to be in a group that is doubling,” we need some kind of coaching and encouragement network for pastors who are trying to live out this value. This is where I get stuck. I am looking for a handful of pastors to join me in praying, thinking, praying, and discussing what this coaching and encouragement network might look like. I am looking for fellow pastors who have some expertise and interest in coaching, strategic thinking,
and Disciplemaking Movements. I don’t know where this is headed. I likely will not be the leader of this group. You may be the leader. I am hoping I might be able to convene a group of like-minded, visionary leaders.
If you are interested in praying about and discussing what this might look like, I’d invite you to reach out. You can respond to this email, ([email protected]) call at
