The Impact

It’s tangible and you can be a part of it

Wildly Important Goal


Also known as WIG, our wildly important goal for this season is to grow God’s kingdom in 70 countries, 700 communities, 7,000 homes and 70,000 hearts by 2030. 


It sounds ambitious because it is, but we see it as a small part of a God-sized movement. And this disciple-making movement is not the same without you. 

 

Want to know what part you can play?


Everyday Disciple-Makers

 "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Matthew 28:18-20

Our Wildly Important Goal is only possible, with God’s help, when each of us, as everyday disciplemakers, hear, obey and share Jesus - and help others to do the same. Will you join?
