About Bill Hull
Bill Hull’s passion has been to help the church return to its disciple making roots and he considers himself a discipleship evangelist. This God-given desire has manifested itself in twenty years of pastoral service and the authorship of ten books. His first book, Jesus Christ Disciplemaker, is celebrating 20 years with a new edition. The Disciple Making Pastor and the Disciple Making Church are two successive books which make up his popular disciple making trilogy. These books have provided the church with a new paradigm for disciple making.

I want to tell you why I write. The Church has responsibilities to God and to believers. I feel we, the Church, are missing the mark on one of them. Everyone agrees (?) on responsibility #1: worship. I love how satisfying to the believer genuine worship is. And we know it's satisfying to God. But the second priority is the quandary. I'm convinced it's not to believers! Am I wrong? Isn't to the 10,000 ethnic groups ("ethne") Jesus sent us to for their salvation? Yet, every church seems to put other things ahead of that one. Mainly, our churches seem to put the congregation in that second slot. To me, that's evidence of some frame of mind, or conviction, that's misunderstood. A conviction that says, "The lost are not really lost." Or, "God will take care of those who have never heard the gospel." Or, "I'm the pastor and I'm not into missionary things. I'm concerned about the people I have right in front of me every Sunday
