TAKE BACK THE CITY - 2010 CAPE TOWN CRUSADE
Abraham was going, not knowing where, in order to leave an inheritance for generations to come. Pioneering and the planting of churches is about invading unfamiliar territory and expanding to places untouched. We're convinced God can do anything He wants with anyone He chooses. As a church planting tribe, we urge all who choose to leave a legacy for generations to come. We don't subscribe to step out in faith with us. We do not follow one specific method, but we do have a strategy that works and makes Jesus a reality to millions.
The best way of leaving a legacy is by duplicating yourself and plant churches. These tent churches will become launching pads from where the generations that will follow in our footsteps can excel and enlarge their territory till they take back the globe. To see a harvest-wave of souls accepting Jesus as their Savior is great but the importance is to maintain the catch of people. Planting of tents for emerging churches is the only way to keep the catch. Join us as we are already in progress of making a dent into darkness, spreading His light.

We will host conferences during 2009/2010 to stimulate, evaluate and fuel the process and to grow our relationships with our leaders.

Plan of Action: To mobilize the current church leaders to duplicate there churches through church planting in the next year.
- DNA of a Church – Be fruitful and multiply (Matt 28:19)
- Mother Churches - Jerusalem & Antioch send Paul & Barnabas. John Haley says, “For Paul, faithfulness to the Great Commission meant more than preaching evangelistic messages here and there. It meant completing a sequence of activities that would result in mature churches. We could say without overstating the case that, for Paul, to “make disciples of all nations” required planting churches.”
- The kingdom of God grows through church multiplication.
Peter Wagner says, “The single most effective evangelistic methodology under heaven is planting new churches.”
