4.3 ACOP Global Mission’s Strategy
-
One adds a person to the kingdom one at a time, the other adds and trains that one to also add and train others to add.. multiplication.. the far better approach since it will have the multiplication effect.
-
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 .

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 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.
