In Acts 12:24 it says that "as the Word of God multiplied so disciples also multiplied".

As a core-team we have felt stirred from this verse that Jesus is inviting Hope Church Sittingbourne to do three things as part of our 20x20 Vision, these three things are:

1. Multiply the Word
2. Multiply disciples
3. Multiply connection points

Over the next 6/8 weeks we will be in a posture of prayerfully considering this invitation which we believe the Holy Spirit has laid before us. We're exploring the practical and spiritual implications of embracing a new future shape towards exponential growth as well as considering some of the implications for us organisationally.

Change can be scary.. some of us love it, others not so much! Over the next couple of months we're trusting God to speak to those who would rush off about intentionally allowing others to catch up, and to those who would resist to link arms with others so that we all step forward in unison together.

As the above vision develops into a clear practical strategy we will begin to drip-feed some of the necessary changes that will be happening for us to align ourselves with Gods plans for us.

With this in mind, can you please make a note in your diary for Sunday, 5th January 2020 when we will be sharing more of our 20x20 Vision for the year ahead,

We were encouraged by our little church plant, with 18 of us travelling over to nearby #Swale friends Faversham Community Church to physically join Relational Mission churches from across #Kent in the #prayersofmany across 5 continents with 1,000s of others! To have had so many local pioneering situations present was such a huge encouragement too - More Lord #newfrontiers #relationalmission #prayerfirst #ENOUGH#moretogether
