1 person who trains one other person to train a third each year would result in world wide conversions of significance in thirty-three years. So why hasn't it been done? I think that first, God never forces our love for Himself or for others. Secondly, we lose the path due to importance, influence, pride. As one said, if they gave you a plaque for extreme humility, they would take in back if you hang it on your wall.
My own experience after about 24 years was to quit making disciples. I had been faithfully reproducing myself in the lives of others, teaching them all I knew about Jesus Christ. Col.1:28,29. Then the great declension and I was out of it for another twenty, where I did almost nothing to build individuals into Kingdom Builders. In the course of our marriage, my wife met some of those I trained, discipled, whatever and asked me "Why don't you do what you are good at?" So I got started. I have three key guys at varying levels of maturity who are on their way to becoming reproducing Christians.
For heaven's sake, pray for them. Pray for me. Pray for yourself, and the part you can play.
