From Jonathan Berry:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cJesus\u2019 command to make disciples in the Great Commission (Matt 28:18-20) was not intended solely for the early disciples, nor is disciple-making the responsibility of a special class of Christians.\u00a0 Rather, all followers of Christ are called to make disciples, to fish for men (Matt. 4:19).\u00a0 Many don\u2019t actively make disciples simply because they don\u2019t know what it means to be a disciple.\u201d \u2013 David Platt<\/p>\n

We want to invite you into an opportunity to connect with Christians from around America and around the world in hopes of exploring the depths of what it means to make disciples on a daily basis.\u00a0 In the process of unveiling the practical ramifications of the Great Commission in our own personal spheres of influence, we will join David Platt and Francis Chan, at The Church at Brook Hills in Birmingham, AL, via webcast to seek God\u2019s direction for us through His Word, prayer, and communion with fellow believers.\u00a0 The Multiply Gathering is a new event for Christ Community Church, but one that falls right in line with the 360 Apprentices program \u2013 as we desire to know better what it means for us to follow Christ as a disciple and apprentice, we naturally desire to share that knowledge with others and so share in God\u2019s joy in calling people to a greater knowledge of Him.<\/p>\n

We will be meeting in the office complex on Friday, November 9, with the webcast starting at 8 P.M. and would love to know if you will be joining us.\u00a0 If you\u2019re planning to attend, you can let us know with a brief registration form at http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/CCCmultiply<\/a>.\u00a0 If you have any questions about specifics of the event or would like more information, the website for the Multiply Movement (out of which the Multiply Gathering comes) is http:\/\/www.multiplymovement.com\/<\/a>.\u00a0 Alternatively, or for CCC-specific information, you can email Jonathan Berry at jberry.09@gmail.com<\/a>. We will meet in the church Multi-Purpose room adjacent to the offices.<\/p>\n

We hope that this will be a great opportunity for our church to come together and achieve a better understanding of what disciple-making is, and that through this night, we will be spurred onward to joyfully live this is out in our daily lives.<\/p>\n
