Our Vision:  Growth Through The Local Church

Clear Gospel Campaign is a missions organization in that it seeks to duplicate its program in every country in the world.  However, many missions organizations limit their vision to planting new churches.  Clear Gospel Campaign seeks not only to reach the world for Christ through the planting of new churches, but through leadership training within existing churches.

Clear Gospel Campaign seek to train and develop discipleship teams within the local churches.  Although we are always open to new ideas, we believe that an effective way of developing discipleship teams is by embedding a staff member within a local church as an adjunct pastor or visiting instructor for a sufficient period of time necessary to train a discipleship team.  This may simply entail a single bible study and training session per week.  Ideally, it means that a staff member of CGC will integrate into the lives of church members, meeting with them throughout the week, often in settings that may lead to evangelistic opportunities, and real life discipleship settings.

After a leadership team has been fully trained and demonstrates skill and proficiency in the defense of the gospel, the program of evangelism and discipleship becomes self perpetuating.  It can be administered and taught by members of the local church individually, or through team teaching.

Many pastors experience the frustration of presenting the gospel at the end of a church service without an effective way to "follow up" professions of faith.  With a team of disciple makers on board free to counsel immediately following a service, or to do follow-up during the week, the pastor is free to tend to the many functions of a pastor.  And he can have the confidence that new believers are being followed up by men and woman who have not simply had a weekend of evangelistic training, but half a year or more.  And he can have the confidence that follow up will not be limited to a two-time meeting between a counselor and a new convert, but by men and women who are fully equipped to reproduce themselves in new believers, and who are committed to serious discipleship.
