| Description Program Service Accom | Program accomplishmentsJanuary December 2012Throughout the year we worked with current church planting hubs, recruited new hub leaders, trained church planters, discipled international pastors and American Church members with our Gospel Disciple materials. We grew our network by recruiting new partnering churches. We developed gospel-centered disciple-making resources. We used our time and resources to invest and disciple pastors to create a movement taking the whole gospel to the whole world.HubsThroughout the year we established our foundational hub churches and leaders. We established 5 hub churches across the southeast: Valdosta, GA, Lyman, SC, Lumberton, NC, Decatur, AL, and Atlanta, GA. We invested in the discipleship and training of our hub leaders and their churches, as well as other church leaders in their communities. We provided gospel-centered, disciple-making resources available through presentations, conversations, and electronic and printed materials. Church PlantingIn the first half of the year we launched a coaching network at LifeSong Church in Lyman, SC, which is one of our hub church locations and trained nine Church Planters during this first coaching network. Almost all of them are now planting churches across the country. We have planters in Hartford, CT, Pittsburgh, PA, Lumberton, NC, Walterboro, SC, Kennesaw, GA, and other rural towns in the southeast. Gospel-Centered ConversationsThis year we began developing and delivering many gospel-centered, disciple-making resources. We believe that helping the church means focusing on the gospel. We believe fueling the gospel-centered conversation is a huge part of who we are and what we do. We hosted a Gospel-Centered Church Conference and invited churches from all over to join the conversation. We leveraged our own network to speak at the event and we centered the conversation on gospel-centered church. We hosted a Gospel Disciple Workshop in Lyman, SC that was attended, not by pastors, but by people from the community who want to be part of a gospel-centered movement. We wrote many blogs for our website. David Putman authored a short eBook entitled Gospel Disciple. David also spent every speaking opportunity leveraging this gospel-centered conversation. He even took the conversation to Haiti, having the opportunity to speak into the lives of pastors at a Haitian Pastoral Conference. Raise ResourcesThroughout the year we have devoted some of our time to the task of raising resources. We were able to partner with a few businesses; one business donated and funded 30% of our annual budget. We were able to bring on a new employee who raised individual and church resources to fund his salary. In addition, we were able to raise revenue from services we provide to churches. | DescriptionProgramServiceAccom |
