Discipleship Training For FREE

Time to Disciple America is a collaborative effort between multiple organizations and individuals who are operating in the area of Disciple-Making Movements.  Currently there are thousands of Disciple-Making Movements taking place all around the world.  But almost none of them are taking place in the United States of America.  There are multiple reasons for this, which will be discussed in greater detail later.  One of the biggest or most common questions that we are asked about Disciple-Making Movements is, “What are you doing here in North America?”  And the truth is, that very little is happening here. We would be overjoyed to multiply disciples here in the United States and Canada. If we are able to identify individuals who want to be true obedient reproducing disciples of Jesus Christ that make more disciples of Jesus Christ in North America, we will be overjoyed to train and assist them as they live as reproducing disciples of Jesus on this continent!. 

This  website is an outgrowth of the ministry, GoMultiply, and the relationships that have developed through over a decade of launching Disciple-Making Movements around the world.  In the past 10 years, GoMultiply has conducted many trainings around the world.  We have trained thousands of pastors, bishops, missionaries, and leaders in multiple countries.  We are simply training them in the powerful simplicity of the early church and Jesus’ training program to disciple the nations.  The early church was accused of turning the world upside down, and that is what most churches, church leaders, and Christians I talked to today want.  But, if we want the results they had then we need to do what they did.  This is about doing Jesus’ work Jesus’ way to get Jesus’ miraculous results.

If we want to experience God-size miraculous results in our day, then we need to conduct ourselves according to the practices of the New Testament church.  Many pastors and church leaders that I meet are tired, frustrated, disillusioned and nearing burnout.  Many are depressed.  One reason is because they don’t see the results they were hoping to see when they went into the ministry.  Yet, if we will simply operate according to the training program of Jesus to disciple the nations, we will begin to see the same results that the first disciples and the early church saw.  Never forget that Jesus took unschooled ordinary people, and He told them that, if they followed Him, He would make them into, or transform them, into people who knew how to fish for other people.  That means He took them the way they were and made them into what He needed them to be, to do the work that He was going to command them to do.  And that work is the work of discipling all the nations (ethnicities) on Earth. 

Now, even though the United States makes up only about 5% of the population of the world, the country exercises tremendous influence around the world.  And when God tells his followers to disciple all the nations of the Earth, that should include the nation of the United States of America as well.  Wouldn’t you agree?  

In the 10 years that GoMultiply has been in operation and trained thousands of leaders in multiple countries, we have seen fruit beyond all that we could ask or imagine.  The majority of our leaders are not seminary graduates; they are not highly credentialed, or even highly educated, but they are willing to follow the training program of Jesus to disciple the nations.  They are willing to be obedient to the commands of Jesus. They are obedient to Him, with a special focus on obedience to the Great Commission. 

The Great Commission is found primarily in Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:15-20, and Acts 1:8.  When we look at these three verses together, we can come up with a Great Commission that sounds a lot like this: 

Go into all the world and make disciples of all the people in the world.  Preach the Gospel to them and baptize those that believe.  And then, teach those that have believed and been baptized to obey every single thing that I commanded you to do.  Do this in the power of the Holy Spirit.  Start where you are and continue to expand outward until you reach the entire Earth.  

Do not attempt to do this in your own strength, in your own power, or in your own wisdom.  If you do that you will fail.  

That is my simple paraphrase of those three Great Commissions. 

It may interest you to know that when Jesus trained His disciples, He trained them according to a simple training process.  

Every training process follows four basic steps. I heard one fourth-grade school teacher say it this way: she said, “I do; we do; you do; now go do.”  In other words, first you watch someone else do something, and then you do that thing together.  Then, you try it on your own for a little while, and then once you have it down, you graduate or get your license to do the thing that you were being trained to do.  It doesn’t matter what the thing is.  It could be cooking food at a restaurant or making clothing in a boutique.  It could be doing women’s fingernails or being a hair stylist. It could be learning to drive a car, drive a motorbike, or play a sport.  No matter what it is, all training processes follow basically the same four steps. And Jesus followed those same steps when He trained His disciples.

In the beginning of His ministry, He did all the work.  If you read the first chapter of the Gospel of Mark, you will see that Jesus preached the first Gospel message, “The Kingdom of Heaven is near, repent of your sins, and believe the Good News.”  He then went on to cast out demons, heal the sick, spend time in prayer, cleanse lepers, raise up the lame, and later He even raised the dead!  Then in John 4:1, He has His disciples already practicing baptizing people in what is probably the first year of His ministry.  Then, when He sends out the 12 disciples, and later the 72, in Matthew 10, Mark 6, Luke 9, and Luke 10, He tells them to do the same things that He was doing when He began.  But these sendings were only step three in the training program.  They were going out for a little while and then coming back. These were the first short term mission trips ever recorded. 

Finally, in Luke 22:35-36, we see the graduation program. He reminds them of the time He sent them out, and He asked them if they needed anything when they went out with nothing. They reply and say, “We didn’t need a thing.”  Then He says, “But now, take your money and take your clothes” indicating that there’s been a change. The change is that now they are no longer in training.  Now, they are graduating.  Now, they can take their money and their clothes, because making disciples of all the nations is going to be a lifestyle.  Your money and clothes won’t do you any good in your home if you’re not even there.  

We look forward to getting to know you and to discipling the nations with you.
