DNA of Gospel Movements

A 6-Part Formula For Making A Lasting Impact

Making an impact just got a lot simpler

Let's be real. The culture has changed drastically in the last 12 months.

Traditional formulas for making an impact just aren't working like they used to. And contemporary methods for multiplying disciples and growing the church just don't work like they used to. The reality is that we’re not doing particularly well in the grand scheme of things. Church attendance is still on the decline in the West... and the trend is going downhill.

And most of our traditional methods are geared toward a tiny fraction of people - a subset of people that is growing smaller while competition among churches for those people is growing more intense. Our intentions may be good, but the cultural landscape has drastically changed and our methods for reaching our communities and cities are becoming more and more outdated.

If you are serious about making an impact, you need a different approach.

Verge Network has a proven model to help you get started on a path toward making an impact in this culture... AND multiplying disciples and leaders.

Are You Focusing on The Wrong Targets?

Are you struggling to know where to start or what works for multiplying the gospel? Are you feeling overwhelmed with keeping pace with all the changes in the cultural landscape? Are you struggling to grow in your discipleship and leadership skills? Is there a dream you have for your community or city that has died the death of a thousand cuts?

Either way, there's a lot to learn. And you’re left asking potentially time-consuming questions:

How do I apply this particular strategy for myself, group or church?

Is this a solid idea, and how should I execute it?

Has anyone taken this approach before, and what were the results?

Let’s face it, kingdom living — whether as a leader, pastor, business person, or just living everyday life — is as difficult as it is rewarding.

The demands of everyday life and ministry can leave you completely sapped and unable to see and understand the big picture - where is God moving and what can I learn from what He's been doing?

It's daunting to keep all of these balls in the air while all along still aching for something more in your church, community and city.

But it doesn't have to be this way.

Good News!

All Of These Obstacles Don't Have to Keep You From Making An Impact

Let us ask you this:

Would you be willing to invest a few hours in order to make a difference in your church, community and city?

The time it takes to go though this course might be the most profitable and rewarding investment you can make not just for yourself, but for your church, community, city and world.

We often get the question, "How is this model different than traditional discipleship or church growth models?" When you look at what most people consider a traditional approach to discipleship and mission, it's easy to see that it is becoming less and less effective.

Here's why:

Traditional Methods Are Incomplete (At Best)

40%

Approximately 40% of the population is being reached by 95% of traditional and contemporary
methods and churches...

60%

Approximately 60% of the population is not currently being reached by any existing traditional or
contemporary methods or churches...

...and church attendance is still on the decline...

Looks Like We Need To Rethink Our Approach...

"What I’ve sensed is really that God is doing something and we really are on the verge of seeing something happen... And that’s what I loved about the whole idea behind Verge.”

Francis Chan - Verge

The Definition of Insanity...

...is this: doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.

In thousands of hours with thousands and thousands of leaders we've discovered that most leaders really have a heart to see the gospel multiply and flourish in mighty ways. But most leaders are using old formulas for new times... they are doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Most people have never been taught the why, what and how of gospel multiplication - of making a true impact. Most people have never been taught how that can radically change everything about what and why they've been doing what their doing.

We seem to know intuitively that something's wrong - something's not working. Research and stats show us that the trend is going downhill. Our gut tells us that something is wrong.

We want to show you how to reverse the trend.

This is a proven formula for making an impact.

Although this is as ancient as the church itself, it only takes a few moments to realize that the incredible benefits of rediscovering God's dream for the church. That's why we want to share this with you.

It's called the DNA OF GOSPEL MOVEMENTS

"We live in a day where it means almost nothing to be a Christian. So how we answer the question, "What does it mean to be a disciple?" will affect in every way how we answer the question, "What does it mean to make disciples?"

David Platt - Verge
