What does it look like to multiply the impact of the Gospel? Just like a family tree visually represents the generations of progeny from a specific ancestor, the missions world talks about church generations. The idea is that a church encourages members to start new churches where they live and among their network of friends. Then these new “2nd generation” churches encourage their members to do likewise.
We find that when the concept of multiplication is taught as part of the initial training of new believers they quickly share their newfound faith with others and gather them into discipleship groups or churches.
This video shows how this process is experienced in Ethiopia. The video refers to the Great Commission Ministry, which is the name of our ministry in Ethiopia.
