Exponential Impact

“…for, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!’” -Romans 10:13-15

It’s true that you can make a big difference with your life! However, you can make an exceptionally bigger impact by stepping into your sacred responsibility to be a sender! How will people ever hear the Good News unless someone sends others to preach that news (v.15).

Jesus said the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. He then told us to pray for workers to be sent out (Matthew 9:37-38). When you focus exclusively on what you can personally do and the difference you can make on your own, your impact is limited. When you become a sender, your life can have exponential impact!

How can we be senders in the course of everyday living for Jesus?

First, you can raise up the next generation. Children in your own home or extended family are your first ministry, but there are young adults, kids, and students all around us. Teach them to love and live for Jesus! They will grow up and take the Gospel everywhere they go for the rest of their lives. Send them prayerfully!

Then, help others discover their calling as a full-time minister! Some people may serve in marketplace ministry through their business while others serve on the missionary field or in the local church. However, we are all called to serve and every day is a new opportunity to live out that calling. Sending people into ministry multiples Kingdom leaders! Send them purposefully!

Finally, helping send others to start new churches, missions outposts, and worship experiences or expressions helps advance God’s work in the world! When you help establish a new lighthouse for the Gospel, it can shine for years, decades, and often for generations to come! Send them passionately!

There are many ways to be a sender, but until you take on that identify and start engaging in the work, the scope of your impact will be limited to what you can personally do. You can accomplish a lot, but it’s nothing compared to what we can do together! Become a sender of others and watch how God can multiply your impact for His glory!

Right on?
