Question 4

What are the practical implications of the philosophy of ministry represented by the words “win,” “build,” “equip,” “multiply,” and “send”?

Answer 4

These are the practical steps in accomplishing the Great Commission issued by Jesus in Matthew 28.

We must win people to Christ. After that, our objective must be to disciple them through building them up in their faith, equipping them to live it out, seeing them multiply more followers of Christ, and then sending them out to live out the Great Commission too.
