Will the others in your leadership team? How will this group you&#8217;ve started continue to grow and build after you&#8217;ve graduated?<\/p>\n<p>From the beginning of each semester, you need to be looking for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cru.org\/mycampus\/spiritual-multiplication\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">students to replace you and your fellow leaders<\/a>. Then, you&#8217;ll need to intentionally mentor those students and help them prepare to lead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is what Jesus did with His disciples. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He spent about three years teaching them about His kingdom and modeling how to live as a citizen of His kingdom. Then, after His death and resurrection, he commissioned his disciples to each do the same \u2013 to &#8220;disciple&#8221; others, who in turn, would &#8220;disciple&#8221; more.<\/p>\n<p>This is what a <em>movement<\/em> looks like.<\/p>\n<p>Today there are an estimated 2.1 billion Christians \u2013 nearly a third of the world&#8217;s population. Just because Jesus&#8217;s disciples did for others, what Jesus did for them.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus said in Matthew 28:19-20:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cGo therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Apostle Paul told Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:2:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cand what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>How do you chose the right people to lead?<\/h2>\n<p>Every good potential leader has a few things in common. Look for people who:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reliably show up.<\/li>\n<li>Are quick to listen to advice and want to grow.<\/li>\n<li>Want to help with any sort of need.<\/li>\n<li>Show signs of personal and emotional maturity.<\/li>\n<li>Has a proven history of following Jesus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you start to see a student with these attributes, first, pray about and for them. Then, invite them to lead in small ways. As they are successful with those, begin giving them more responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, as you listen for God&#8217;s leading, challenge them to join your leadership team \u2013 to lead a Bible study, to take on a leading role in weekly meetings, or some other important part of leading your group.<\/p>\n<p>And don&#8217;t ever stop looking for more students to lead.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"How to start discipling someone.\"><em>Want to know how to start discipling someone?<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After you leave campus, will there still be multiplying disciples?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1991],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-grow-as-a-leader"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.3 (Yoast SEO v26.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Always Keep the End in Mind \u2013 Transferring Your Leadership - Cru City<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cru.org\/communities\/city\/2019\/transferring-your-leadership\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Always Keep the End in Mind \u2013 Transferring Your Leadership\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"After you leave campus, will there still be multiplying disciples?\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.cru.org\/communities\/city\/2019\/transferring-your-leadership\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Cru City\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-11-19T17:29:49+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"John Plastow\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"John Plastow\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.cru.org\/communities\/city\/2019\/transferring-your-leadership\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.cru.org\/communities\/city\/2019\/transferring-your-leadership\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"John Plastow\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.cru.org\/communities\/city\/#\/schema\/person\/aaafcaa6e4a1881eb9508e90a59615a5\"},\"headline\":\"Always Keep the End in Mind \u2013 Transferring Your Leadership\",\"datePublished\":\"2019-11-19T17:29:49+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.cru.org\/communities\/city\/2019\/transferring-your-leadership\/\"},\"wordCount\":416,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.cru.org\/communities\/city\/#organization\"},\"articleSection\":[\"Grow &gt;
