4.3 ACOP Global Mission’s Strategy
-
The difference between the addition strategy and the multiplication strategy is that the addition strategy focuses on a slower method of adding people one at a time, whereas the multiplication strategy focuses on discipling people to disciple others around them. The multiplication strategy is preferred because it enables more people to hear about the gospel. Rather then just focusing on the salvation of one person, it enables others to share the gospel and the gospel can get spread more.

The addition strategy is not necessarily a bad thing, it is always good to see someone come into the kingdom, but it is not sustainable. The greater vision of the “multiplication” strategy is that one disciple would train people who would disciple other people, and each of those people would in turn train/disciple other people… and so forth. This way the spread of the gospel goes far beyond what 1 individual can do, but rather the spread of the good news exceeds into the hundreds, thousands, and ten thousands.

With multiplication, each person is sharing the gospel with someone who goes to share it as well, so the kingdom of God would be multiplying. Addition would simply be adding a singular person to the kingdom. If 1 person is responsible for sharing about God to one person each day, it would take 16 days to tell 16 people; but with the multiplication approach, starting with 1 person, 16 new disciples would be made in 5 days. Multiplication, therefore, is the better approach to expanding the Kingdom of God.

The difference between multiplication and addition strategy, if I'm starting, i want addition strategy, walking with them, equipping and training, as he grows in the Lord, we could start doing multiplication discipleship. As Jesus send them two by two and make discipleship grows faster .
