As you begin this Journey of planting a new church to the

glory of God, each participant must answer the question,
Whats Your Destination? Are you setting out to plant a
single church or are you planning to plant multiple churches that plant churches? Will you open
your eyes to the Kingdom of God which is far bigger than you or your future church? To reach
North America for Christ, we must focus on building the kingdom and move from addition to
multiplication. We hope and pray that you will hear Jesus when He says, Open your eyes and
look at the fields, for they are ready for harvest(John 4:35b, HCSB). A church planting movement
is needed across North America and more church planters and church planting teams are
required to lead this movement. May you find Gods Destination for your life as together we seek
to plant multiplying churches.

honor God with your body (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, NIV).
