SI Family,
There is much to rejoice over! Thank you all for reporting and sharing how God has been working in and through you within your regions of the world. The Lord has been so faithful to us over the past decade of ministry!
I have a few things to quickly share with you:
1. Stage 3 of the School of Multiplying Church Planters is finally complete in English.
This marks the completion of the full cycle for the SMCP, in the coming days, we will be re-evaluating the next steps for the School of Multiplying Leaders to prayerfully re-form it to be more on target for the intended outcomes of truly launching Church Planting Movements everywhere.
As always, when translations are completed, we will immediately format and post them on this website for further distribution.
2. 2014 has been a PHENOMENAL YEAR for us! I just received and compiled the final report numbers from Floyd, and it simply blew my mind!
Here is what the Lord has accomplished (numerically) this year through the ministry of Strategic Impact - that is to say - through YOU!
New Leaders Trained in Leadership Thrust:
4908 (81% increase over 2013, 378% increase over 2012)
New Leaders Enrolled in SMCP:
3719 (66% increase over 2013, 410% increase over 2012)
New Professions of Faith:
14378 (53% increase over 2013, 284% increase over 2012)
New Cell Churches Planted:
635 (106% increase over 2013, 576% increase over 2012)
TOTAL Active in SMCP:
7075 (107% increase over 2013, 488% increase over 2012)
The results are wonderful! Praise the Lord! The INCREASE is what really shocks me! We are truly bringing about multiplication at all levels!
AND - I know we are not simply growing by numbers... we are also growing every leader, every pastor, every husband and wife, every person whom God uses us to equip is moved toward a greater love for Jesus, a greater love for their fellow believers, and a greater love for the lost. Praise His mighty name!
"Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me." - Colossians 1:28-29
May God continue to bless you, and others through you!
