Paul and Barnabas set an example for us to follow:
Acts 14:21-22 (NIV)
They preached the gospel in that city and won a large number of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch, strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith.
Making disciples isn’t one-and-done. It’s not short and simple. It’s on-going work. 
I hope that people mark my words
although they’re not a flood;
I hope it’s Christ I point them toward
from a lesson bought in blood.
If they see past the awkward rhymes
to find a beating heart,
may they also see the times
in which I fell apart.
May they see the mighty God
that picked me up again,
that on the paths that He had trod
I might, in grace, remain.
May my story be a reminisce
of abject failure, and forgiveness.
Amen, Andrew. God’s wisdom empowers your heart and your poetry.
Thank you so much. I’m struggling, on all sides.
