We need to train a large number of people to find the few who are ready and willing to implement. Just about everyone I trained loved the experience. They all felt more confident in sharing the gospel and making disciples. But only 10–12 percent of the people who attended made a sustained effort to implement the training. There are two ways to look at that ratio. We could despair and say, “Only 10–12 percent!” Or we could say, “As many as 10–12 percent! That means if I train one thousand people, I’ll have at least one hundred workers I can teach to train others.” I took the second position.
