Disciple Making
• Wesley’s System of Interlocking Groups:
• “Society” – corporate
• “Class” - open group
• “Band” - closed group

Disciple MakingWesley told his lay
preachers: “Preach in as many places as you can. Start as
many classes as you can. Do not preach
without starting new classes!”

Disciple Making
“My brother Wesley acted wisely – the souls
that were awakened under his ministry he
joined in classes. This I neglected and my
people are a rope of sand.” George Whitfield

Disciple Making
Programs do not make disciples. Disciples make
disciples!

Disciple Making
Jesus said: “I will build my church. . . You
make disciples.” Instead, we are all trying to build the
church and few of us are making disciples!

Jesus prayed all night and then began to gather his 12 disciples. He invested 3 years in these disciples who in turn would disciple others. If each disciple gathered 12 in a 3 year period, they would multiply from…1 to 13 to 150 to
1,800 to 20,000 to
A quarter of a million to
3 million in a 21-year period.
