2018 Reflection

We started Intentional Churches with a dream to help 1,000 local churches a year renew a plan to reach 1,000,000 people for Christ. Our Intentional Growth Planning system is in use around the world to increase the Gospel impact of hundreds of churches and organizations. God is moving and we are following as He moves!

Every January we pause for a moment to reflect on God’s faithfulness in our journey. This year we have had the privilege of installing Intentional Growth Planning with amazing organizations like Focus on the Family, Leadership Network, North American Mission Board, North American Christian Convention, NewThing Network and the Orchard Group. We have also been able to work with 123 churches who are using the Intentional Growth Planning system to reach more people for Christ.

Each of these churches represents dozens, hundreds, and sometimes thousands of individuals pursuing Jesus and the Great Commission. Join us in praying for them as their hard work in planning and preparation begins to bear fruit.

We are praying for an incredible season of planting and watering in the coming year. We can’t wait to hear the stories of how God brings the increase.

We built Intentional Churches to support, train, and equip a movement of churches that would shamelessly advance the Gospel “in their neck of the woods.” No one church can do it all, but each can begin an intentional journey of accomplishing the Great Commission. Contact us to learn more about our Intentional Growth Planning system and how to unleash the Great Commission in your church in 2019!
