– Bartizan 46 of the 3-day Weekend Age –
「Open the Age of Individual and Group-Based Schools」
Scripture Reading: Acts 17:1
Now the year is coming to an end. You must go with a sure prayer topic for next year. What you must surely do for one year, I will speak about at the New Year’s prayer meeting.
▣ Introduction
1. The bartizan of prayer
So first of all, you must establish the bartizan of prayer now. Only when the bartizan of prayer is established first will you be able to see what comes next, what God has prepared. How you should pray, we will see that at the New Year’s prayer meeting.
2. 1,000 bartizans
Pastors, pray for 1,000 bartizans. David established this. You only need to find one person in one region. People keep trying to do something big, but one person in one region is enough. Whether you send someone or go yourself, if you go to 1,000 places, 1,000 people come out. But the one condition is absolutely a bartizan. There are seven important points that God has prepared. You just need to meet those.
3. One region
And many people, especially church leaders, established a bartizan in one region—a sure bartizan—to the point that about 1,000 disciples would arise.
4. Missions – one nation (1,000 disciples)
For missions, you can choose one nation. From here, you can use the strategy of saving 1,000 regions and disciples. Because it is an important work of saving one nation.
5. 1,000 work bartizans
In our work as well, establish 1,000 work bartizans. You just need to find 1,000 disciples.
Someone I know did business in a market, and every day they go around the market. While going around, disciples come out. But many people do not do that. They are going around looking for disciples. If you listen to that person’s story, there are so many testimonies.
“The one-person, group school age”
Businesspeople, among you, what is the most important thing you must pray for today? Now, because the School Council is meeting today, pastors also must have eyes to see this when they go to mission regions. So if we went to Vanuatu, and we found someone who could teach the children in Vanuatu, then you only need to give that person 100 dollars a month. “I will give you one hundred dollars a month as your salary. Hold a school in your house or anywhere.” You can do it like that. So the school strategy is very important. Even one person is fine. In our concepts, we keep trying to build something big and do something big, and because only that concept is in us, we miss everything. A group is fine too. If one group is formed, you must open the school age from there. There is no evangelism better than this. And if it continues and this arises, you can keep supporting it.
What you are thinking is that Korea has many schools—only that. But in mission fields, it is not like that. In mission regions now, if you give 5 million won in Korean money, you can run one soccer team for a year—just with 5 million won. They even pay the coach’s salary and do everything. To completely make a soccer team, 5 million won for one year. There are tremendous mission fields and blessed regions still remaining. Around you, even there, the method of how you go is important. If you enter 1,000 places, 1,000 disciples come out, right? Because they are certainly prepared, God attaches prepared ones to the places you go. And you must truly receive blessing in your work. Right? You want to do missions and offerings as much as you want. You must truly receive blessing in your work.
▣ Introduction_ Bartizan strategy
Use a bartizan strategy like David. It is clear that David was a person of prayer. I strongly felt that David was a person of prayer. “Ah, this person is a person of prayer.” He established 1,000 bartizans here and there in the nation of Israel. He is an incredible person. From there, they protected the nation, from there they worshiped, from there they prayed, from there they held many festivals—everything. So the nation became prosperous.
Even establishing one person is enough. When did I catch that? About 40 years ago, when I was an evangelist at Jeonpo-dong. You do not need many. One teacher, a deacon, an English teacher—there is no need to go anywhere else. In their own home. In their home they did this, and about thirty children gathered. Thirty gathered, and what did they do? They spoke everything only in English. At first the kids struggled, but soon the kids changed. Parents went crazy trying to send their children there. There were no assistant teachers, nothing like that—alone. They produced children who speak proper English. In that place, you cannot use Korean at all. Bartizan strategy. Even one person can do it properly. This is how important a school is.
▣ Main Body
Now then, what kind of bartizan must you properly make? Why is the school strategy important?
1. Acts 17:1-9
In Acts 17, the synagogue appears, right?
2. Acts 18:1-4
Here also, the synagogue appears.
3. Acts 19:1-21
In Acts 19:1 and 21, the synagogue also appears.
This is for you to open your eyes that the School Council is a strategy to save the world. And it is the same in Korea. You must open your eyes to this.
1. Acts 17:1-9
1) Synagogue – communication
Do not look at this synagogue as nothing. It is not only children. It is a place where everyone communicates. He penetrated this.
2) Christ
Of course, they teach children. He went there and clearly explained about Christ. If you say this, will many people gather? You do not need many. Only those who understand this need to gather. We are looking for that. There is no need to try to explain well. Someone who understands even when you did not explain well is the real one. Right? Of course, many people say you must preach many “good sermons,” but you do not need good sermons. You are looking for people who understand Christ.
Haven’t I told you several times? Before coming here, there was a place called Dongseong Church. The pastor said we should do “Total Mobilization Sunday.” Because I was an associate pastor, I must do what the senior pastor says by several hundred percent. Right? I said, “Pastor, I alone will mobilize several thousand people.” “But, Total Mobilization Sunday must never be done again. Because it is what you instructed, I will make it 300%.” The pastor understood. We must raise disciples. After this ends, I said we should do an evangelism school. Because we keep doing only what does not work, it cannot work. It cannot work. Then it happens again. He trusted me somewhat. He said, “Pastor Ryu, when people gather, what kind of sermon should I preach?” I said, “Pastor, because you are so good at delivering messages, people can be captivated. Even if you stutter, it is fine—just talk only about Christ. The ones who remain are disciples.” I explained that.
3) Greeks, prominent women
Then Greeks and prominent women understood. Then that is enough. There is no need to look for many. Only find people who understand Christ. Then these people are enough.
4) Those in the market
But when this work arose, the people in the market interfered and so on. It does not matter at all.
5) Jason – absolute bartizan
At this time, what is Jason, who is he? He is the absolute bartizan. This one person is enough. Even if two people do not come out, it is fine. This one person is enough. And then Paul went somewhere else. After staying here for only three Sabbaths, he went somewhere else. He did really well.
All Remnants, establish an absolute bartizan in your studies. All pastors, establish 1,000 bartizans. All elders, make your work become 1,000 bartizans. It will work.
Pastor Lee Seong-hoon probably knows that deacon, but this person found disciples every day at their business site—every day. It is amazing. Normally, if you are the boss, you go out to eat lunch, right? This person packs a lunchbox and eats it. Why? Because eating out is a waste of time. Since time is wasted, they eat the lunchbox and go around. Unconditionally, establish 1,000 bartizans like David.
2. Acts 18:1-4
1) Romans, Jews
A meeting of Romans and Jews.
2) Acts 2:10
This person was a person who was in Acts 2:10. This person met Paul.
3) Sabbath
So every Sabbath, he went in and began to explain the facts that happened in Mark’s Upper Room. God blessed this Priscilla couple so they could do world evangelization. That is the real answer. That a person of work is blessed to do world evangelization is the real blessing. Barely eating and living? Unbelievers do that too.
3. Acts 19:1-21
Now look. Here, three big things appear. What are they?
1) Mark’s Upper Room (19:1-7)
In the same way, what happened in Mark’s Upper Room happens exactly as it was.
2) 19:8
The important thing is Acts 19:8. Paul speaks by quoting exactly what Jesus had said. A miracle happened.
3) 19:21
And after that, “I must also see Rome.” It is normal that you are blessed enough to evangelize Rome. You must completely change your thinking.
When I came here, I started in a crumpled 12-pyeong place, but I looked for land where thousands could gather. Church leaders gathered and were a bit worried because they could not understand. I even bought the small land next to it. When I saw that land, it seemed just right to build a restroom. Yes, I found this. This land is big. If you build this properly, you can do prayer and everything properly. You can pitch tents and do everything. “I must also see Rome.” It is natural. Right? People gathering here by the thousands, receiving disciple training—of course it is natural. Only then do answers come. From the beginning, the place we gathered was 12 pyeong, and the place we moved to was only 35 pyeong. From the beginning, an evangelism movement of 3,000 gathering arose. Right? Because we did 300 Darakbang sites.
Before, someone working at a pharmaceutical company asked me. How can this church do world missions? “Set up about 100 pharmacies. In major cities across the nation. Then it works. Call one person, have them earn, let them take half, and ask for half. If it does not work, make that person do it and ask them for mission funds.” Then if it gathers from 100 places, it becomes a huge amount. With that, you can do world missions. It is regrettable. If it were me, I would set up about 1,000 pharmacies. Money comes out, right? I cannot eat it all myself. I must do missions. I must serve the church. Right? Give mission funds to pastors. That is normal.
You must think from the beginning. Our Remnants, from the beginning, pray, “I will offer nine-tenths of the ten.” Right? Because you can earn 1 billion won a month, eat well on 100 million, and offer 900 million. Right? Bill Gates is doing that. The early church had no tithe, because they abandoned everything. There is no word “tithe.” That is something that pressured Jews who did not want to pay money. The early church did nine-tenths of the ten.
▣ Conclusion
Anyone can do it. This school strategy is possible even alone.
1. One person
Right? You must change your thinking.
2. Family
I saw families doing it. A family does a school. Wow, I was surprised—they did it in a basement, pounding the desk and doing it.
3. Group
A group can gather and do it.
4. Large-scale
And to take hold of a region, a large-scale approach is also possible. And when you are in that position, you must do it.
5. World school
And you can do it online too. As a world church. As a world school. Now, in representative places like RLS or RGS, you can create an online school for the whole world. Then it is a different system. For that, you must prepare a few things.
So these days, it is not difficult. It is a work that can save the world. Didn’t God say He would be with you, having all authority in heaven and on earth? “I will always be with you.” In Mark 16, it says the Lord seated on the throne blessed them. He said He would be with them with the power of the Holy Spirit 300%. That is right.
May today be the start of holding onto a sure prayer topic and building the bartizan of prayer, as I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ. I will pray.
Prayer. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of kings, and the eternal love of God, and the working of the Holy Spirit be with all evangelists who will save the world, from now and forever. Amen.
