The Math Behind the Mission

10-Year Multiplication Projection

One house church — two couples and two single adults, six people in all — spends Year 1 learning to walk together as a biblical house church. From Year 2 on, each of its four family units helps start one new house church a year, a ×5 multiplication every year.

After 10 years, that's roughly 1.95 million house churches — about 11.7 million disciples (6 adults per church) — all starting from one small group willing to obey and multiply.

Vision

Glorifying the great "I AM" by joining Him in reaching unreached people groups through Disciple Making Movements (DMM's).

Strategy

Church Planting

Planting DMM’s in oral cultures using reproducible strategies for village entry, gospel presentation, discipleship, spiritual formation, and leadership development — teaching every believer their responsibility to make disciples. Two tools we use: Training Rural Trainers (TRT) and Simple Church 3/3rds groups, in both oral and literate versions.

Whole-Person Evangelism

Need-oriented evangelism that reaches out to the whole person in the name of Christ.

Business as Mission

Sustainable and reproducible, nationally-led businesses that provide income for DMM’s.
