This focus on a few is highlighted in John 3:22: “After this, Jesus and his disciples went out into the Judean countryside, where he spent some time with them.” The Greek word for “spend time with” here is diatribo. Composed of dia meaning “against” and tribo meaning “to rub,” diatribo literally means “to spend time together rubbing off on each other.” Jesus invested deeply in his disciples, allowing his teachings, character and mission to rub off on them through extended, intentional time together.
This was the question on red T-shirts worn by many of the members at Worship Harvest Church in Kampala, Uganda. The question on the T-shirt was a way to reinforce the value of disciple making as the primary task of their church.
When I asked apostle Moses Mukisa, who founded Worship Harvest about the T-shirts he responded confidently, “It’s the question Jesus answered with his 12 disciples. We believe when we do the hard work of multiplying disciples we will multiply groups, churches and networks. When that happens, we will see a movement.”
Moses’ answer held a lot of credibility since Worship Harvest Church started with just a few friends in a worship band and over the last five years has grown from a network of eight churches to now 121 churches. More Here
