God has not only created us with the ability to multiply through having children, he has also given us the power to multiply disciples who multiply disciples through the preaching of the gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit. In Genesis and Acts, we read how God enabled man to multiply biologically and spiritually. We read how the number of disciples greatly increased and multiplied during the era of the early church. In his book, Dr. David Nelson, explains eight principles for building a ministry of multiplication. These biblically based principles will empower you to see a solid ministry that will grow into a ministry that multiplies disciple makers.
“A veritable manual for leadership training, this book is based on authoritative Scripture and birthed from credible experience. As the daily need for better-equipped leaders deepens and widens, nothing short of a divinely orchestrated multiplying of servants of God will address the mounting deficits in knowledge, affection, and skills for local church ministry. Read this book to lay a foundation and then build your efforts to enhance pastoral health and advance church health, especially where Christ’s church is growing.”
