Five Principles to Make and Multiply Disciples Through Small Groups - Paperback

by Timothy W. Yates (Author)

he Great Commission commands we "make disciples." Unfortunately the church has struggled with her primary mission and has been grossly negligent in equipping ordinary church members to become Great Commission leaders. Consequently, Tim developed a strategy consisting of Five Principles to Make and Multiply Disciples through Small Groups. This book provides a concentrated focus on how to intentionally develop and deploy the common layman within the local church. "These 'Five Principles' are being worked out every day in the life of our church. Dr. Tim Yates not only helped us transform our disciple-making process, he applied these same principles to impact the neighborhood where he lives. This book is a valuable resource of sound biblical truths and practices that help churches and individuals fulfill the Great Commission."
