Translations:DEV 24FN Multiplication Principles/51/en

10. Rapid – generations of churches are multiplied in a short period of time. Rapid reproduction must be in the core value of each church being planted. It is common to see new churches being started every 4-6 months. The book of Acts records 6 summary statements of how the Word of God spread, the number of disciples and churches grew rapidly. In only a 10 year period, Paul was able to say that his work was done in half the Roman Empire! Maturity in Christ is enhanced by starting new churches because leadership development and the discipleship of every member are built into the ongoing structures of church life.
