In J. Lee Grady’s tremendous book Follow Me: Make Disciples the Way Jesus Did, the author notes that Jesus during his three years of ministry to the lost spent most of His time with the disciples and about seventy others committed to His cause (among them Joseph of Arimathea), teaching them to minister when Holy Spirit would guide them, as the Messiah said before His ascension “make disciples of the nations,” disciples in all the nations who would make new disciples in turn, ongoing to this day.
