During Jesus’ three years of public ministry, he invited men and women to follow alongside him and serve others. Then Jesus commanded these followers to multiply His efforts by making disciples who would go and make more disciples.


Multiplying, Creating a Culture of Disciple-Makers is a comprehensive guide for young and mature believers who want to engage in spiritual formation. This consumable workbook guides disciples through Christian principles, developing their relationship with Jesus while preparing them to be disciple-makers.


After discipling students and adults for years, Bob and Barbie Magruder noticed that even though many believers matured in their faith, they still did not implement Jesus’ command to “go and make disciples.” Recognizing this discipleship gap, the authors adjusted their discipleship approach by developing Multiplying. From beginning to end, this resource will challenge believers to engage in discipleship with the intent of discipling others in the future.


Just as Jesus spent quality time with Peter, James, and John, Multiplying was designed for one facilitator to walk through the manual with three disciples. This small-group experience focuses on weekly assignments and accountability as members engage with Scripture and implement life-changing spiritual disciplines. While intended to be a 14-week journey, each group chooses its schedule, pace, and an option to extend the discipleship journey organically for a longer period. Multiplying concludes with the commissioning of every group member to “go and make disciples” who make disciples. As the Holy Spirit equips us, let’s create a culture of disciple-makers!
