The Math of Multiplication
It only takes one to get it started...
How will Rock the World ignite a spiritual awakening among young people on every continent? Well, we won't - but the Holy Spirit will through the young Christian leaders we equip! Here's one strategy: there are about 1.5 billion people on earth aged 12-25. How long would it take to reach all of them? Well, assume just one young person tries to bring at least 3 others to the point of following Jesus in one year - by praying for them, caring about them, and being willing to tell them about what following Jesus means to him/her. Then assume that only 2 of the 3 would say yes and stick with God. Then assume that all 3 of these young people (the first one + the two new ones) would each do the same thing with others the following year. Check out the math (on the left)!
So starting with just one, it would take only 20 years for the number of young disciples to surpass the current global population of 12-25 year olds! Yes, there are barriers to this actually happening. Culture is one barrier - but the global youth culture is also a connector! We also know from Scripture that not everyone will choose to follow Jesus. Still, Jesus commands us to love God with our minds; and a system like this is one reasonable way to organize to complete his Great Commission, especially if we believe in the value of relationships in ministry.
Love God. Rock the World.
