There I met with Mike Duke, the former CEO of Walmart and one of his Vice Presidents Edwin Keh. The fourth is catalyzing disciple-making movements.Ī few years ago I was able to travel to Bentonville, Arkansas. At Asian Access we have four outcomes, the third of which is reproducing disciple-making leaders. This is encouraging to me as both Evergreen SGV and the organization I work with, Asian Access, are keen on discipleship.

I think we may see what Jesus meant when he told his disciples that, “The Law and the Prophets were until John since then the good news of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone forces his way into it.” (Luke 16:16 ESV) And if we do see millions of people forcing their way into the good news of the kingdom, we are going to need discipleship in a massive way. I think we should expect people to be hungry for what we have. But the pandemic has also created a huge void in people’s lives. Travel has been heavily restricted and in person gatherings have been curtailed. Okay, that was a long time ago! One of the key things Jesus said that is foundational for cross cultural missions is, “And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:14 ESV) In one sense, Covid-19 has seemingly slowed down missions. I have been involved in missions ever since I graduated from college.

In fact, I believe we may see one of the greatest inpourings into the kingdom of God we have seen in our generation. Jesus tells us as much in Matthew 16:18 “And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” (ESV). But what will we pivot to? While we don’t know all the implications the Covid-19 pandemic will have on our world, we can be certain that God’s kingdom will advance. Decades from now I think history will look back on this time as pivotal.
