CFTROU 0007: The 1% Rule for Reaching Your Community

Today we explain what we mean by the 1% rule of reaching your community. It means gaining perspective on your mission fields where God has placed us and owning the lostness that’s all around us. We need to develop strategies that equip the “joes” and don’t leave reaching people with the gospel of Christ to the “pros.” We will never move the needle on lostness until we get serious about training and reps.

Key Points:

  • Define what it means to move the needle 1% in your community.
  • Do the math to identify what your church is spending to make each new disciple.
  • Hear how church growth is possible without massive budgets.
  • Understand the biblical pattern for church growth and multiplication.
  • Learn why you need to train everyday people to have everyday gospel conversations
  • Understand what it means to keep vision alive in front of your people and to preach to lead.
  • Movement starts with focused prayer and other biblical, simple, and reproducible tools.
  • Discover the difference between telling/teaching and training.
