How to Prevent Disciple-Making Movement Drift

Can you picture it? A mission team launches with all the principles and best practices of Disciple Making Movements (DMM) intact. But then somewhere along the way, they want to speed up multiplication to fit their timetable, so they introduce outside money to help indigenous disciple-makers gain quicker access to new villages through charitable acts. It is obvious that this breaks the rule of reproducibility by the sheer need to bring in outside resources; but they justify it by saying, “Just a little help here and there can’t hurt.” It doesn’t seem like a big deal at the time.

So nobody took me up on my challenge. 😉 I get it; who wants to write one more thing online. Here was the challenge:

Without looking through the book of Acts, try to call up as many examples of prayer as possible. Share those examples with our readers without commentary. Then take mental notes of the environment, what was taking place that led to prayer, and what did prayer look like for them? Lastly, what might Western missionaries overlook when they are among the nations as it relates to prayer?

“Back in the city, they went to the room where they were staying—a second-floor room. This whole group devoted themselves to constant prayer with one accord” (Acts 1:13-14, The Voice).

Making prayer part of your 80% is a “no brainer,” but is a constant struggle for us Westerners. The USA has an endless supply of books on prayer because we need so much help (including me). So how do we make prayer our second nature?­
