OUR STRATEGY - HOW WE DO IT
- Live out and model local disciple-making movements: We start right where we live, work, and play by catalyzing a local disciple-making movement. We also collaborate with other likeminded groups that share a vision for reaching the 109 cities and communities that make up the greater Atlanta area.
- Help churches transition from weekend-only to disciple-making churches: We work with church all across North America helping them make this transition by by installing a micro-group strategy for making disciples that make disciples. Second, we help churches develop a disciple-making vision or dream. Finally, we walk along side of churches helping them update their operational system.
- Partner with others to catalyze movements globally: We come along emerging movements globally to provide coaching, training and tools for catalyzing their disciple-making movement.
OUR VISION - WHERE IS GOD TAKING US
We envision a global disciple-making movement of a million disciples.
We will catalyze a disciple-making movement. It will consist of simple tools and approaches that work in any place, at any pace, empowering any person. It will be simple to reproduce, give immediate disciple-making result, and to be bullet proof against any pandemic or disruption. It will reproduce rapidly and spread from one relationship to the other. It will allow ordinary people to live extraordinary lives and to have an extraordinary gospel impact right where they live, work, and play. It will reshape the way we do church, transforming our churches from weekend experiences to disciple-making movements. We will work alongside of other likeminded partners around the globe toward the redemption, renewal, and restoration of all things as we join Jesus in planting the gospel in the most fertile fields on our globe.
