Therefore My wrath shall be aroused against this place and shall not be quenched.’ ” ’ ¹⁸ But as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the Lord, in this manner you shall speak to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God of Israel: “Concerning the words which you have heard—¹⁹ because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before the Lord when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they would become a desolation and a curse, and you tore your clothes and wept before Me, I also have heard you,” says the Lord. ²⁰ Surely, therefore, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace; and your eyes shall not see all the calamity which I will bring on this place.” ’ ” So they brought back word to the king.

WHAT  (Multi -site résurgence)

Multisite Facts:

·         In 1990, there were 10 multisite churches.

·          In 1998, that number had expanded to about 100.

·         In late 2005, there were more than 1,500 multisite churches in the United States.

·         In mid-2008, there were an estimated 2,000 multisite churches across the US.

·         In 2014 there are now more than 8,000 multisite churches in North America, according to Leadership Network.

Multisite churches are succeeding in urban, suburban, and rural communities, as well as internationally. The pace of multisite growth is increasing. This movement will continue.  

BENEFIT OF MULTI- SITE CHURCHES

·         Multisite churches reach more people than single site churches,

·         Multisite tends to spread healthy churches to more diverse communities,

·         Multisite churches have more volunteers in service as a percentage than single site

·         Multisite churches baptize more people than single site churches.

·         Multisite churches tend to activate more people into ministry than a single site.

·         Multisite often leads to smaller and recyclable buildings that do not lead to a proliferation of large, empty church caverns when neighborhoods change

WE NEED NEW CHURCHES 

In most regions of the United States, less that 20% of people attend a Christian church any given weekend.

·         If we were to start new churches of 1,000 people each, then we would need over 200,000 new churches in the United States to reach those who are unchurched

·         Over 80% of people who attend a church plant are unchurched and spiritually disenfranchised.

·         The United States has the 4th largest population of unreached people in the world, after India, China, and Malaysia.

·         The United States is 14th on the list of nations receiving missionaries from other countries.  

·         The decline in church attendance is forcing churches to build community-centric, multi-purpose, and environmentally-friendly facilities
