CONCLUSION

In this paper I have described the phenomenal historical church growth movements of the Early Christian Church, the Methodist Church, and the Latin American Church as they graphically illustrate the principles of theological education through Discipleship and Edification.  This was denoted as an incentive to imitiation and Godly blessing.

In this paper I have also purposely stressed many factors that may stunt missionary church growth due to dependence on a purely traditional residential system.  With these harsh realities in mind we might be forewarned, and with much prayer take practical steps necessary so that history will not sadly repeat itself.  Thus, with Godly wisdom and grace we can disciple all people and become an efficacious blessing to eternal, blood-bought souls.
