Beginning with the End in Mind

If a church multiplication movement is to happen in the United States, it is highly unlikely to come from our current structures and systems, and not even from our more vigorous approaches to church planting in recent years. If we carry our current methods and approaches to their logical end, maybe we could push the current system harder to generate a few more churches, but it is already close to capacity. We already have almost all the church planting that our current money can buy and our current systems can support.

Instead, we need to imagine a different world, one that begins with an end in mind. The desired goal is to see lost people find new life through Jesus Christ—not at the rate at which the general population is growing (which isn’t even happening), not even at a rate that gains respectable ground, but at a velocity and intensity that is nothing short of explosively supernatural.
