What does
 it take?
Doubling a
class every two
years or less
translates into
40% annual
growth, or an
average class
going from 10
to 14 in a year.
Since that time,
   those small
 groups of eight
to twelve people
      have
   reproduced
countless times.
Today we are a church
  with more than seven
thousand attenders and
a network of more than
 thirty thousand people
 celebrating every week
  with several thousand
    reproducing small
          groups.

The best way
to insure half-
 way decent
  teaching is
   by asking
     good
  questions.
How to double a class
Teach a half-way decent lesson each
  and every week, nothing less will do.

Invite every member and every
  prospect to every fellowship every
  month.

Give Friday Nights to Jesus.
Encourage the group toward ministry.
Reproduce your group.
There is an
epidemic of
loneliness in
our culture.

√ What’s the difference?

       √ Growing

        Dividing
Joyfully, personally,
enthusiastically, sincerely
  embrace the vision of
  growing and dividing,
  growing and dividing,
  growing and dividing.
Eventually
growth will kill a
  small group.
When
people are
not missed;
 they miss.
Who was
that couple?
“I doubled twice
   in the last 3
     months.”
Why don’t we do this?

   The high price of
   saying good-bye
What keeps
    more
 missionaries
    off the
 mission field
than anything
    else?
Doubling’s dirty little secret
People are not actually opposed to saying
good-bye to the group.
They are opposed to saying good-bye to
their best friends.
If we can take our best friends with us, it
doesn’t hurt so badly to say good-bye to
everyone else.
The issue of
willingness.
I understand. . .
It is OK to have big groups and
smaller groups.
This may not be the time to divide.
We may not have the maturity to
divide right now.
Dividing is not THE answer to every
situation at every time.
Do you
 want
 me?
Doubling teachers. . .
Are not a lot smarter
Are not a lot more charismatic
Are not a lot more spiritual
Are not a lot more articulate
Are not a lot better at teaching
Don’t spend a lot more time
Don’t love God more
Are not a lot different
Joyfully, personally,
enthusiastically, sincerely
  embrace the vision of
  growing and dividing,
  growing and dividing,
  growing and dividing.

Editor's Notes

  1. Pastor Castellanos went to Korea in 1986 and was fascinated by Dr. Cho's cell system. He went to work right away to develop a similar system in his church. By 1991 they had 70 groups. Then, they tweaked the plan and developed the G12 system. (Described below.) To say the church took off is a gross understatement. By 1999 the church had 20,0000. . . you think I am going to say 20,000 in attendance, right?  No. The church had 20,000 groups. Today, they have about 52,000 groups. If each group averages 10 they have half a million groups at International Charismatic Mission in Bogotå, Columbia. I would say that easily earns the title, "Fastest Growing church in the world." And how does it happen?
  2. In China the entire church is doubling every 10 years through groups that are doubling. There are between 60 and 100 million believers in China.
