Pray
Prayer is the work. What we are asking of the Lord on behalf of the people of the Bay Area is greater than anything we can do in our own strength.
“Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.”
John 14:13–14
Connect
Our recent report explores the history of church planting in the Bay Area and the opportunities and challenges ahead. An undeniable truth is this: when churches connect in kingdom-minded partnership and generosity, God moves in special ways. Join a network or infuse an existing network with a greater multiplication mindset and allow God to leverage the power of community for your multiplication efforts.
“I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”
John 17:20-21
Go
The fundamental building block of a multiplication movement is missional disciple-making. Anyone can contribute to church planting simply by living “on mission” in the neighborhood, in the marketplace and beyond. The Lord calls some missional disciple-makers to plant churches. We can help you explore a potential call to church planting.
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father, and of the son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:19-20
Give
The gifts you give enable us to provide coaching and training to established churches wanting to multiply and church planters seeking to launch new churches. It also provides for our Barnabas Fund to assist and encourage plants at key moments in their planting journey.
Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
Luke 6:38
