Many years ago...
Many years ago, in the late 1970s, I remember quite clearly being in a pastor’s office and talking about the church he was planting. I met with Pastor John Douglas who had just planted a church in Welcome Bay, Tauranga. We were in the basement of his house where the church was meeting at the time, and I asked a very simple question: “How do you plant a new church? What do you do?” He proceeded to show me various procedures.
I don’t remember the rest of the discussion at all. All I know is that something in that brief conversation captivated me that day, and it has mushroomed, growing over the years in its passion and intensity—I was addicted! It was one of those God-defining moments.
To this day I don’t know why I was so fascinated by it; maybe my God-given destiny hit me from eternity within the confines of time. Yet without a doubt, it was just one of those very simple yet profound ‘God’ moments.
Since that time I have had an ache in my being to keep church planting a high priority within the Body of Christ, especially in the Western world. There is an overwhelming need in specific regions of the world, such as Europe, America, Australia, and New Zealand, to plant outposts of Heaven. We desperately need groundbreaking, apostle-type leaders who are able to break through both visible and invisible obstacles. We need people of faith, perseverance, and character. Nations await such leaders to stand up and guide them into the future. This inspired me to write the book Multiplication, a tool to inspire those revolutionaries to boldly step forward and take ground for Christ.
