The Fruit of Shepherding the 5 Crowns of Reward
The picture below illustrates the fruit of shepherding the 5 Crowns of Reward: duplication. The problem with so many churches in today's world is that they know the goal, make disciples, but they have no vision to know when they have accomplished that goal. The 5 Crowns of Reward supply the definitive set of activities for which Jesus promises rewards to perform. For too many years, and over too many generations, the cross of Christ has been the only dimension of the faith that was sold to Christians. Their followers converted and were left to twiddle their thumbs for years in the pews. That generation lost everything as they got older in the Church--the so-called "children's" church grew up and vacated the churches they grew up in, leaving the leaders to grow old and fit the bill of the church alone.
The fruit of the 5 Crowns of Reward is duplication. Each of these crowns is summarized by STUDY, SERVE, SUFFER, SHARE, SHEPHERD; we call it the "5S Cleanup" of the Church (<--see the link). Any toddler can learn the model. This set of activities gives the Christian church a means to duplicate its results. As soon as the Christian knows the 5 Crowns of Reward, they communicate what they're doing and duplication happens organically. One Christian becomes a church fellowship quickly.
