Principle #5 - Instinctive Reproduction at Every Level

A disciple-making community (DMC) instinctively reproduces at every level. From the individual, to the church, to a network, it multiplies itself because the of the DNA instilled from the beginning compels it to do so. Individuals lead other individuals to Christ in obedience to His command to evangelize and to love their neighbor. Small accountability groups spawn more accountability groups. Churches have the innate urge to plant others churches as a means to continue the momentum of advancing the kingdom. These DMCs have an apostolic impulse that enlarges the influence of Jesus Christ from their neighborhood to the nations. Jesus envisioned the message of His love and lordship encompassing nothing less than the entire globe and we are the "sent ones" to deliver and live that proclamation. (Genesis 1.28, Matthew 4.19, Mark 16.15, Luke 13.18-21, John 15.8, 17.8, Acts 1.8)
