40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. 41 The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ). 42 And he brought him to Jesus. -
John 1:
40-42 (NIV)


I believe that everyone is not connected to everyone else, but every one of us is connected to someone. We all know somebody who we could reach for Jesus and share about our personal experience and encounter with Jesus. That's genuine growth. It's based on relationships.


Train your members to reach out to other people. Challenge each member of your congregation or your
small group
to reach twelve other people. Make it doable. Tell them and train them how to reach another person each month and bring them to your
Bible study
,
prayer meeting
or
Sunday school class
. That's just one person per month. That's three people per quarter. Challenge them to do it based on their relationships. If you have ten people in your ministry, you could potentially have 120 people touched by your ministry within the first year. Imagine how much more that you could do through your people once they get comfortable doing such a mighty work.
