The greatest want of the world
is the want of men [people] — men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole, men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall.

Ordination of All Believers to do All the Work of Disciple-Making.
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you,
that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain:
that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
~ John 15:16, NLT ~
All believers in Christ to the end of time are included in His commission.
All to whom the heavenly inspiration has come are put in trust with the gospel.
All who receive the life of Christ are ordained to work for the salvation of their fellow men.
All who take upon themselves the sacred vows of the church are thereby pledged to be co-workers with Christ.

Notice What happened in 2019
First time in US history (2019), churches closures (4500) outpace new churches (3000).
%
Today, about 80% of the US population will not walk into a conventional church. There is once exception. To find out, read the evidence below 👇
Between 2010 and 2015, over 104 million church leaders left their local church.

In 2019, for the first time in US history, a new study that analyzed church data from 34 Protestant denominations and groups found that 4,500 churches closed in 2019, while about 3,000 new congregations were started. The 34 Protestant denominations account for about 60% of U.S.-based Protestant denominations. (Source.) Note that this is a pre-COVID benchmark, projected to become more pronounced in the wake of COVID-19
In 2014, researcher Alan Hirsch discovered that “Of 318 million Americans, 208 million (about 60%) are not interested in walking into the front doors of a conventional church.” In other words, today’s mission field is done with the conventional church (except for 1st and 2nd generational immigrants). So the new question is, how do we reach them — which has risen and is now closer to 80%?
In 2015, Josh Packard’s research discovered that “approximately 104 million (33%) have left the church.”
Who are these 104 million? They call them the “doers.” They have given years of service within their local church as elders, deacons, children’s ministry leaders, etc., only to discover they are ineffective in reaching today’s modern mission field.
Packard continues, “Our interviews indicate that the dechurched are among the most dedicated people in any congregation. They often work themselves into positions of leadership in an attempt to fix the things about the church that dissatisfy them before ultimately deciding their energies could be better spent elsewhere. In other words, the dechurched were the “doers” in their congregations.”
“As our society approaches a post-institutional era it’s entirely possible the near monopoly that the church has enjoyed over faithful expressions and religious connections may be coming to an end. The activities of the dechurched may be ushering in a new understanding of what religious activity means. If this trend continues, it will fundamentally reshape the way Americans experience organized religion.”
In contrast, within Simple Church Global Network, 52% of the people gathering in homes are secular, un-churched, de-churched, or non-church — the mission field we are trying to reach. That is unheard of.
Please prayerfully consider this new tipping point. Now is the time to make the change.
