At NMC, we've placed a high value on multiplication or spiritual reproduction. One thing I often pray for is that our students will become spiritual grandparents.
What I'm really getting at in this prayer is this...
A student would have the privilege of loving, sharing, and leading someone to a relationship with Christ (become a "spiritual parent"), then invest in that individual to the point that he/she would have the privilege of loving, sharing, and leading someone to a relationship with Christ (become a "spiritual grandparent").
Our mission statement for NMC Student Ministries is to see students move from religion to relationship to spiritually reproducing. Although becoming a spiritual grandparent is not the only way this happens, nor is it the only true sign of someone living in a healthy relationship with Christ, it IS a powerful symbol of both. Students making disciples who make disciples is what gets me fired up...
You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others.
2 Timothy 2:2
