1040 CONNECTIONS INC

• Multiply believers – Recognize true felt needs at grassroots level and through meeting these needs increase access to the Gospel for the least reached, resulting in transformed communities and warm-hearted disciples.
• Multiply leaders – Empower and equip godly and gifted women and men as church planting change agents.
• Multiply churches – Instill the DNA of multiplication within house churches. Aim for the 4th generation.
• Multiply movements – Calling on and relying on the Holy Spirit, we desire that contagious and joyful church planting movements cross-pollinate into other unreached groups and spread like wildfire.

In the nations where we labor, we aim to see:
• 100,000 new believers in the next 5 years
• 10,000 new leaders equipped and released
• 100 unreached people groups with multiplying churches
• 10 church planting movements

In all of our projects and relationships we seek to demonstrate an ethos of humility, integrity, simplicity, and generosity.
