by getting hold of your life

through some are of sin.

Evangelization

If the two of us went out and won two more and discipled them during the next six months, there would be four of us (the number doubles).

1st year = 4 people

1 ½ years = 8 people

2 years = 16 people

2 ½ years = 32 people

3 years = 64 people

Evangelization

At the end of:

4 years = 256 people

5 years = 1,024 people

6 years = 4,096 people

6 ½ years = 8,192 people

This would be many more than one a day for 16 years!

Evangelization

At the end of 16 years, 4,294,967,296

(over four billion) would be saved.

the entire population of the world!

Jesus commissioned us to make disciples!

to become disciple makers!

A world vision begins with one person.
