Multiplication Network

"This is the church I'm trying to empty... I want to empty this church because I want to send at least half of these couples here to go and start new Bible study home fellowships and then make those into new congregations."
-- Pastor Victor

The Partnership

Christian Reformed World Missions (CRWM) and Multiplication Network Ministries (MNM) have teamed up to make a greater impact for God's Kingdom. CRWM supports MNM's work through the work of John Wagenveld. John and his wife Angela are providing leadership to MNM, a small but growing organization that is impacting over 20 countries.

More Churches, Stronger Churches

CRWM and MNM are now helping thousands of congregations with tools and training to help churches be more balanced and missional. Healthy churches are then challenged to consider planting daughter churches that multiply the number of outposts of the Kingdom. Together, CRWM and MNM are working through MNM's "More Churches, Stronger Churches" strategy.

“More Churches” is a modular church planting program to help congregations multiply themselves by establishing daughter fellowships. This biblical strategy has proven to be very effective in reaching more people for Christ and gathering them into healthy congregations. Practical skills and biblical training are coupled with mentoring and follow-up to give the church planter a better opportunity for success.
The “Stronger Churches” program is an evaluative process to help a local church find its strengths and weaknesses so it can be a better witness for Christ in its local context. MNM uses a tool called “Take Your Church's Pulse,” which is available in several different languages. The majority of churches MNM partners with have never taken the time to review their results, assess their congregational health, and establish action plans according to a strategic plan.
