We reconnect with Jim Britts, author of 21 Days to Becoming a Disciple Maker, whilst both he and Dave gather in Africa with other DMM leaders. In this episode, we get an update from Jim from the States of some of the highlights happening around him with both his own community and collaborating with others. Highlights such as doing a ‘push week’.

A push week is when people come together from different places and focus on the harvest for a few days. Finding and then following up people of peace for the remainder of the week is what this ‘push’ is all about. The week can be covered in ‘live prayer’ through, for example, group messaging. This is a great way to get ‘unstuck’ for people who want to bring together a few others to engage a particular harvest field together.

“Breakthrough happens through coaching – when someone helps you walk through doors that they have already walked through”

Choosing this journey of making disciple is choosing a journey of rejection. Discouragement can come with this. Jim then asked us this question: ‘Will you do disciple making only if others are doing it with you or if God brings the fruit? Or are you doing disciple-making for the rest of your life? Instead of an ‘only if‘, we need to have an ‘even if‘ mentality. Even if our dreams aren’t met or even if everyone else walks away.
