Steve and his wife Lois live in La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico. They are the founders and directors of RECONCILIAMAR, a Mexican NGO that "uses adventures at sea to transform lives." The goal is to increase people's love for the ocean thus giving them a personal reason to want to care for and protect it. Steve and Lois also use adventures at sea, such as scuba diving and sea kayaking, to create large blocks of uninterrupted time in which to talk about King Jesus.
The Apostle Paul adapted his church-planting strategy for different contexts. Movements today do the same while still demonstrating a common pattern of growth and development.
Global trends and a changing culture are key reasons why multiplying churches are more necessary than ever before.
Since 2005 God has allowed the Global Proclamation Academy (GPA) to bring 25 younger pastoral leaders to Dallas for a three-week program designed to connect, unite and strengthen the finest, younger lead pastors of Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
How do people who who are broadly sowing the gospel make the transition to becoming multiplying church planters?
How do we go from a theoretical concept of unity to intentional, strategic collaboration?
What happens when you train anyone with a pulse who loves Jesus to connect and share?
Everything you need to know to reach the world is found in the example of Jesus.
God intends for the global proclamation of the gospel through the church so that the wisdom of He might be made known through creation.
“Intentional collaboration” is a term of art within GACX. The coordination, alignment, and partnership necessary to push forward the 5-million church vision cannot be left to happenstance or afterthought.
In John 1:35-42, Jesus is in the midst of starting his ministry. He finds two of John the Baptist’s disciples following him and asks them a simple, yet profound question: “What are you seeking?”
The GACX board of directors has appointed Nate Vander Stelt as Executive Vice President.
Why do you think Jesus taught his disciples to pray, “Our Father in heaven…Your kingdom come?” What do you think we are saying whenever we pray this prayer?
GACX views prayer as an indispensable action in our mission to see one healthy, multiplying church for every 1000 people worldwide. That’s why every GACX member is encouraged to identify and appoint a “prayer igniter” within their organization.
