From the Minister's Study
Spiritual multiplication: win, build and send
BY REV. VIC JAMIESON,
MINISTER
BELGRAVE AND BRUSSELS
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES
Unless new cells are continually
being produced in our physical
bodies, our bodies are dying. The
same is true in the spiritual body of
believers in Jesus Christ, the
church.
Ifwe are truly Christians, people
born again of the Holy Spirit, we
should be overflowing in all we say
and do with thanksgiving “be
cause Jesus Christ did what God
wanted him to do, we are all
purified from sin by the offering
that He made of His own body once
and for all” (Hebrews 10:10). This
love should move us to share our
faith in what Christ has done with
those we meet, and then they
should be moved too. Other
religions or good works of people
cannot get anyone into heaven.
My wife and I have had the
unique opportunity of seeing
spiritual multiplication practised
by our daughter, Ann. During the
past three years she has been
involved with Campus Crusade for
Christ atthe University of Western
Ontario, and in Brazil, Thailand
and India during the past two
summers. This ministry was
founded by Dr. Bill Bright, an
American Presbyterian, and his
wife as a means of helping Christ’s
followers to fulfill his great com
mission: “I have been given all
authority in heaven and on earth.
Go, then, to all peoples everywhere
and make them my disciples:

makes you harder to be forgotten.
baptize them in the name of the
Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,
and teach them to obey everything
I have commanded you. And I will
be with you always, to the end of
the age” (Matthew 28:18-20).
This ministry has expanded to
more than 150 countries with over
16,000 staff who individually raise
all their own prayer and financial
support. Their main goal in
ministry is to implement Christ’s
command by: winning people to
Jesus Christ, building them in
their faith in Him, and sending

them to share His love with others.
All of us should implement this
concept in our Christian lives
because ‘‘God so loved the world
that he sent his Son that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but
have eternal life” (John 3:16).
Ifwe really believe this, we shall
want to win people around us to
make a decision to live for Jesus
Christ. When they have, we are to
build them up in their Christian
faith, by teaching them how to
apply their faith in their everyday
lives. Atthe same time we teach
them how to reach and build others
in faith and thus send them forth
into the world as Christ sent his
first disciples or learners about
him.

You probably didn’t bring your house along with
you. You couldn’t bring your church along either, but
we hope you didn’t leave your faith behind!
Whether you’re old or new here, we invite you to
move into our church! Join us in our search to make
Christ Lord of our lives.
