Romans 1:5 Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name’s sake.
Let us take this word apostleship and look at it.
Apostle: A person who initiates a great moral reform or who first advocates an important belief or system.
Ship: There are a few definitions for this word however I think this one fits best. : to send (someone) to a place that is usually far away.
Apostleship: One sent on a mission as one of an authoritative New Testament group sent out to preach the gospel and made up especially of Christ’s 12 original disciples and Paul.
So someone who is sent out to do the work of our God telling others about Him and His grace and His love. Then according to Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Disciples:One who is sent out to spread the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Teaching them what? Matthew 28: 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. So we make disciples out of those we talk to and then we teach them about the saving grace of Jesus Christ and how by faith we can all have this. In short get them saved…
So let us look at it this way. This is what I desire to see happen. If 3 people go out and find 1 person each. and they spend 6 months with those 3 people teaching them. Then they do the same thing again however this them there is 6 and they spend 6 months with these and teach them about praying and believing and being a Christian.
Now it has been 1 year and now here is 12
The 12 do the same thing for 6 Months now 1 ½ years now there is 24
The 24 do the same thing for 6 Months now 2 years and there is 48
The 48 do the same thing for 6 Months now 2 ½ years now there is 96
The 96 do the same thing for 6 Months now 3 years and there is 192
The 192 do the same thing for 6 Months now 3 ½ years now there is 384
The 384 do the same thing for 6 Months now 4 years and there is 768
The 768 do the same thing for 6 Months now 4 ½ years now there is 1,536
The 1,536 do the same thing for 6 Months now 5 years and there is 3,072
The 3,072 do the same thing for 6 Months now 5 ½ years now there is 6,144
The 6,144 do the same thing for 6 Months now 6 years and there is 12,288
The 12,288 do the same thing for 6 Months now 6 ½ years now there is 24,576
The 24,576 do the same thing for 6 Months now 7 years and there is 49,152
The 49,152 do the same thing for 6 Months now 7 ½ years now there is 98,304
The 98,304 do the same thing for 6 Months now 8 years and there is 196,608
The 196,608 do the same thing for 6 Months now 8 ½ years now there is 393,216
The 393,216 do the same thing for 6 Months now 9 years and there is 786,432
The 786,432 do the same thing for 6 Months now 9 ½ years now there is 1,572,864
The 1,572,864 do the same thing for 6 Months now 10 years and there is 3,143,728.
That is 3 Million 572 Thousand 864 people So 1 person is responsible for 1,048,576 souls to the Lord. Now that is 10 years just imagine 20 years or 30 years. A whole new meaning to apostleship.

May God be with you and watch over you. And America it is time for us to BLESS GOD again…
Psalm 5:8 (AMP) Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make Your way level (straight and right) before my face.
Well I understand what you mean how its like multiplication. But I”m not good with stuff like this. That would be awesome if that would happen. I thought how could just one person make a difference, Then maybe some one could. That would be awesome.
