Inside the March/April 2013 Issue
Multiplying Disciples
“The things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others,” Paul said (2 Tim. 2:2). In the Outreach Interview Francis Chan and David Platt call for a rediscovery of such disciple-making discipleship. To be a disciple is to be a disciple maker.
In a culture increasingly apathetic or antagonistic toward the Bible, finding ways to engage people with Scripture is essential to outreach and evangelism—necessary first steps in making disciples. The March/April Outreach approaches the question as we delve into the concept of Bible engagement today.
This issue also presents our 10th annual celebration of the best books and media to help equip you for outreach. Here, then, is essential reading for leaders seeking to make an impact in their community.

The Story of the Bible
From biblical illiteracy to Bible engagement: There are two kinds of biblical illiteracy. One is not knowing the Bible’s facts. The other is not knowing its story.
