Make Disciples.
From Asbury Church Planting Connection
There have been over two thousand years of church history and disciple-making multiplication. Multiplying Disciples seeks to draw wisdom from the well of church history by looking at several important disciple-making movements: The Celtic Movement, The Moravian Movement, and the Methodist Movement. Each one of these movements offer vital contributions to the church and when discovered, they can rediscover the power of working together for the great commission to make and multiply disciples of Jesus Christ for the 21st century.

Chris Smith sensed an unexpected call to ministry at age 17 while attending the International Youth Conference (now known as FMYC) in Colorado.
“There was a time where they had just an extended period of prayer, and I knew that something was up because I was awake, and normally I fell asleep during a time of prayer,” said Smith — now the lead pastor of Emmanuel Free Methodist Church in Alton, Illinois — during an interview with Light + Life. “I felt God call me very specifically. It was like God was saying, ‘I want you to go be Les Rovenstine to a next generation.’” (Les Rovenstine — who recently died at age 58 after battling COVID-19 —served as Smith’s youth pastor at Moundford Free Methodist Church in Decatur, Illinois.)
That evening, Smith found a pay telephone and called his parents to share what happened. They suggested that the three of them discuss it more when he returned from Colorado. When Smith got home, they revealed, “Well, when you were a little kid, you used to play church pretty regularly with the neighbor kids. You were always the preacher, and they were the congregation. We had kind of sensed a call to ministry for your life.”
