The Harvest Is Not Finished — What Comes Next — Part 3

Over the last two weeks we have told the story of Go Multiply — how it began in a moment of prayer in May 2012, and what God has done over ten years of ordinary disciples doing extraordinary things through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Today is Part 3. And Part 3 is not about the past.

It is about what is still unfinished — and what comes next.

In ten years, God has done things through Go Multiply's global networks that no human strategy could have produced:

Tens of thousands of New Testament churches formed. Hundreds of thousands of reproducing disciples made. Thousands of leaders trained across dozens of nations. Movements multiplying in Africa, Asia, South America, and beyond.

But here is the number that keeps driving Kurt forward — and should motivate every follower of Jesus as well:

Roughly 2 billion people on earth today have still never heard the name of Jesus Christ.

Jesus said the harvest is plentiful and the workers are few (Matthew 9:37). That was true in the first century. And, sadly, it is still true today.

Approximately 43,000 people die every day from unreached people groups — people who have never once heard the name of Jesus Christ.

They do not go to hell because they rejected Jesus. They go to hell because no one has ever told them about Him.

That reality, coupled with obedience to the final command of the creator of the universe, is what drives every training Go Multiply conducts. It is what drove a homeless beggar in Africa to start 25 home fellowships of believers in a few short months — because when ordinary people comprehend the training program of Jesus and are released to implement it, disciples multiply faster than any program or institution could ever produce.

It is what drove the lady in Webuye to keep sharing after her pastor kicked her out — because 10,000+ people  gathering and multiplying in His name is worth far more than the comfort of remaining quiet just to keep the peace in her local congregation.

Obedience to Christ is what drove Kurt to walk into places with Taliban bomb threats, police interference, guerrilla warfare zones, and radical persecution — because the commission of Jesus has never been rescinded. It is still in force and applies to every follower of Christ today. Every Nation means EVERY NATION, regardless of the government's stance on following Jesus.

Right now, as you read this, Go Multiply has over 15,000 disciple-makers waiting to be trained and sent. These are men and women who live very near the most unreached people on earth. They know the language. They know the culture. They look like they belong there — because they do.

The cost to train each one is just $50. Another $100 or so to send them and equip them with Bibles for new believers.

$5 a day covers one trained and sent disciple-maker per month.

$50 a day trains and sends ten per month.

Even $1 a day trains and sends two per year.

In the parable of the talents, Jesus was not concerned with how much each servant had been given. He was concerned with what they did with what they had been given. What are you doing with what you have been given?

Many hands make light work. Together, the Great Commission is an achievable goal. We know where the unreached are. We have people ready and willing to go to them. The world has the finances and the technology to get it done. We simply need to combine all of these resources — so the senders can send, the trainers can train, the goers can go, the unreached can be reached, and Jesus can return.

In the fall of 2023, the night before embarking on his most ambitious mission journey to date — seventeen three-day training sessions in eleven weeks across six countries — God gave Kurt a dream.

The Lord said: "You need to draw them a picture."

And then He gave Kurt the picture.

It was a timeline of the church age — from the first coming of Christ to His return — with every significant movement marked on it. The New Testament church meeting in homes for 300 years. The Constantine system which began around 324 AD, repackaging pagan religious structures with Christian labels that have shaped the building-based church model ever since. The Reformation 500 years ago, which reformed the theology but left the practices largely unchanged.

And then where we are now. We are in the Last Days!

Jesus is not in the business of reforming the building based Constantine system. He is restoring the original operating system of HIS church. He is bringing His body back to the powerful simplicity of the early church — disciples making disciples, households coming to Christ, movements multiplying faster than population growth — because He intends to finish reaching the world before He returns.

Almost every believer Kurt talks to today believes we are living in the last days. If the church age spans roughly 2,000 years and we are near its end, then you and I are in the final moments — with +- 2 billion people yet to reach.

What the building-based Constantine church system has not been able to accomplish in 1,700 years, the operating system of Jesus can accomplish in the next ten, fifteen, or twenty years.

The question is not whether He will finish it. He will. The question is:

Will He do it with you or without you?

Far better with you.

Up till now, Go Multiply's work has been primarily international — and the fruit has been extraordinary. But for the last several years, Go Multiply has been asking a question that keeps getting louder:

The statistics in the American church are sobering. The current cost per baptism in the US church system is estimated at $1,550,000. Ninety-five percent of Christian church members never lead a single person to Christ in their entire lifetime. Ninety percent never share their faith at all.

This cannot be what Jesus had in mind when He said, “I will build my church.”

Time to Disciple America — a project of Go Multiply — exists to bring the same pattern that is producing extraordinary multiplication in Africa and Asia into homes and neighborhoods across the United States. Simple. Reproducible. Obedience-based. Starting where you are, with the people God has already placed in your life.

The same method that took Samuel from 50 church members to 2,500 reproducing disciples in ten months can work in a living room in rural Mississippi, a kitchen table in Wisconsin, a coffee shop in Chicago, or a backyard anywhere in America.

This is not a cultural program. It is the training program of Jesus. And it works wherever ordinary, obedient disciples are willing to put it into practice.

July 30th, 2026 Go Multiply is celebrating ten years of ministry at The Eight10 in Waupaca, Wisconsin. The theme is Rooted and Sent — drawn from Jeremiah 17:8, is that of a tree planted by water whose roots run deep and whose leaves stay green even in drought, bearing fruit in every season no matter the weather.

That is what ten years of joining the Holy Spirit looks like. Rooted in Scripture. Sent into the harvest. Bearing fruit in places that have never heard the gospel of Jesus before.

We would love for you to be there. Join us if you can.
