Purpose
Our passion is to mobilize disciples that make disciples, resulting in churches that plant churches. Like Jesus' parable of the seed that fell on good soil, each individual seed has the power to create countless future generations of new seeds.
Mission statement
We work with God to launch disciple making movements.
Statement of faith
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful men regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

History
The story of God's glory is that since March 2005, the Lord has used the Disciple Making Movement (DMM) process to catalyze 107,375 new churches with 2,267,809 new disciples-many from places where the Gospel had not sprouted let alone spread for over a century. However, 'movements' of churches planting churches are our main measure of success. We define a 'movement' as at least 100 new churches that have multiplied to the fourth generation or beyond. Currently, we are tracking 186 of these movements that range between 4 and 27 generations of new churches.
