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.
Hi Bill,
I'm not really that cynical. But when you say "gospel" I think of "Unreached Peoples." There are 10,000 people groups on earth reportedly either totally untouched by the name of Jesus or so little impacted by the gospel that the good news in not reaching out as fast as the population is expanding. This includes 2.4 billion individuals! Five thousand people die of AIDS every day. That is tragic. One hundred thousand souls who belong to the Unreached Peoples go into eternity without knowing the Savior. That is awesome beyond description. I'm trying to get believers whose hearts are moved to parallel what I am doing about this situation. There is no expense involved. I offer a free service to pastors who are stirred to action by the challenge of the Unreached Peoples. I encourage them to tell their people about the Unreached, and to lead them in prayer each Sunday. I send them weekly emails, each one giving bullet-points about the People group featured by Global Prayer Digest for that Sunday. Congregations who pray will be joined by 70,000 GPD intercessors. If you feel the pleasure of God behind this effort, I invite you who read this to do what I am doing. You can use material from my website to create your own. If you have a website, add a page that promotes congregational prayer on Sundays for the Unreached Peoples, and forward my weekly emails to pastors who ask you for them. I believe God will sweep around the gallant efforts of our noble missionaries with a mighty anointing and wonderful power, causing their ministries to be enormously more effective. He gave us the job of spreading the gospel to every people group ("ethne"). He will help us if we ask him.
