Subject: Paul E. Johnson, hasn't always served the Lord within a university context. For a decade Paul and his wife labored as Bible teachers and church planters in urban central Mexico. Concurrently Paul also worked to ignite a mission vision among believers and with church leaders. As a Great Commission vision grew, Paul worked with key leaders to launch a mission agency among the Bible Churches of central Mexico. * * * Today, Paul is passionate about effectively mobilizing young adults to go and make disciples-and to plant churches among all peoples, everywhere. How passionate? Paul himself went back to school. In his doctoral dissertation, he demonstrates that the core of Christ's mission is the making of mature disciples who are transformed into Christ's likeness and reproduce other holistic disciples to form disciple-making movements https://www.amazon.com/Creating-Disciple-Making-Movements-Holistic-Disciples/dp/1481054066/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=9781481054065&qid=1572409590&sr=8-1
