Key Concerns

Take a look at some of the key concern areas that we seek to address.

For the gospel to impact the world, 1 evangelical church is needed for every 1,500 people in urban populations.

In rural populations we need 1 evangelical church for every 500 people.

Between 5 and 20 million new evangelical churches are needed to reach the world.

It takes 25–100 believers to plant 1 new church.

There is an urgency for world-wide discipleship to meet this need for healthy, Christ-centred churches.

Core Ambition

How can we see communities of faith multiplying into new communities of faith to become agents of transformation in our regions?

We want to see effective collaboration within the body of Christ to saturate the world with the gospel through church planting.

‘I will build my church and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.’ 

Matthew 16:18

Take a moment to pray for the health of the churches in your community to grow and develop leaders who plant churches.

So what can we do?

We call for church planters to plant not only more, but healthier, Christ-centred churches that reflect the gospel and impact their context.
