Born to Reproduce

by Dawson Trotman

€The reason that we are not getting this gospel to the ends of the earth is not because it is not potent enough.'Dawson Trotman first preached the message in this booklet over 50 years ago, but it's no less challenging today. Dawson explains that if we're Christians, then we should be leading others to the Lord. He unpacks what might be preventing us from being fruitful in our evangelism and explains how we can become €˜spiritual parents', no matter how young we are in the Faith.Dawson Trotman gave thirty years to vigorous pursuit of the goal 'to know Christ and make Him known'. He founded The Navigators in 1933 and led the ministry until his death in 1956.

About the author

Dawson Trotman was an evangelist, crusader and founder of The Navigators.

Trotman founded The Navigators in 1933 and through this worldwide Christian organization supported various Christian ideals: maintaining the basic disciplines of the Christ-centered Spirit-filled life, abiding in the Word of God, the importance of personal follow-up, one-on-one discipleship training, and principles for multiplying Christian disciples, laborers, and equippers around the world. In rescuing a girl from drowning during water-skiing in Schroon Lake, New York, he lost his own life on June 18, 1956.

Dr. Billy Graham said: "I think Daws has personally touched more lives than anybody I have ever known." His work and writings were instrumental in the creation of the Campus Outreach ministry, which focuses on discipleship as a method of building up the community of Christians on college campuses.

Trotman worked with many other evangelicals of his day, including Henrietta Mears, Jim Rayburn, Charles E. Fuller, and Dick Hillis. Lorne Sanny succeeded him as the head of The Navigators.

Trotman married Lila Mae Clayton on July 3, 1932. Lila Trotman died on October 27, 2005, at the age of 90. The couple had four children.
