What does it look like for your own flock to “produce and reproduce?” What can you do to improve your flock’s ability to meet these goals?

To ensure your church community produces and reproduces effectively, focus on nurturing spiritual growth and well-being, implement effective discipleship programs, create a supportive environment, and stay informed about best practices while engaging with other leaders and embracing innovative approaches.

Helping my “flocks” to produce and reproduce looks like giving them opportunities to express their faith and helping them to see where God is calling them and allowing them to reach out to others who they determine would also be in need of our “flock.” Opening up leadership opportunities would be a great way to do this. I will begin to look for ways to include others in our leadership.

To produce and reproduce they must, along with me, grow spiritually in Christ. This is done by sharing the Gospel, helping one another in both good times and bad, and by remaining humble when speaking with the group. We can be proud, but only through what Jesus has done. We should grow in our group size but mostly be better Christians for others to see. The group leader helps and serves with the group to ensure everyone knows they have a servant who cares for them and will be there for instruction.

In order for a flock to produce (wool & dairy primarily) or reproduce (having babies) they must be healthy and feel protected. For our flock, we produce a godly life (2Peter1:5-7, Gal 5:22-23), and to rep[roduce is to bring in new disciples. In order to achieve this we must live it out. By focusing on spiritual growth we develop maturity through bible study, prayer, and worship. By mentoring newer believers we lead them in growth as we ourselves are growing. This will create a sense of community inside a flock, and that will promote evangelism and service. All of this combined together will bring an active and thriving flock which will contribute spiritually to the church’s growth.

For the sheep produce and reproduce, they must be healthy. they also be having good grass and healthy water. Personally, I can play the roles and duties of good by taking them where is good pasture, drinking clean water and protect them from predators.
