A Multiplying Strategy 2/15/2011 4:53:20 PM Link 0 comments | Add comment 
A multiplying strategy is important to maximize impact. Reaching generations of people through our labors is much more powerful that simply teaching a few business skills to a few people. I like Paul's demonstration of this in 2 Timothy 2:2.
2Ti 2:2 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others.
With the stroke of his pen in a single sentence, the Apostle Paul describes beautifully a strategy for multiplication across four generation/levels of people. Examine it.
- 1st generation – the apostle himself
- 2nd generation – Timothy
- 3rd generation – reliable men who can teach
- 4th generation – others
This is the strategy we should embrace in evangelism. I believe that a parallel strategy suits our BAM strategy.
- A core persons, persons, or team within the culture can become our 2nd generation, our Timothy level.
- The "Timothy's can find and/or win participants who can learn and become the business "teachers" or developers.
- These then can reach far out into the families and other enterprises within communities.
Multiplication is a worthy and powerful goal to build into your BAM strategy. We will talk about how it can transform communities next time.
Blessings and thanks for your interest,
