Good News is for sharing.  Jesus entrusted the Good News of salvation to eleven of his followers just before he ascended into heaven.  He commanded them to proclaim the Gospel to all creation and to every person.  What an impossible task!  How were 11 Jewish men from Palestine going to spread the Good News to two or three hundred million people all over the world?

It's great to help people experience the new birth and begin to follow Jesus!  But if we want to spread the Gospel across Africa and around the world, we dare not be content with just this kind of ministry.  We need to move on to empowering disciples to make disciples and churches to plant churches.
