DEFINITION OF DMM
A Spirit-led rapid multiplication of disciple-making disciples and indigenous churches planting churches that sweeps through a people group or population segment in a relatively short amount of time.
10 Universal Elements of Movements
PRAYER IS THE ENGINE THAT DRIVES THE DMM. RADICAL PRAYER IS FOUND AT EVERY LEVEL OF THE MOVEMENT.
1
EXTRA-
ORDINARY PRAYER
FREQUENT AND HEAVY DOSES OF GOSPEL SHARING IN MASS AND BY INDIVIDUALS IS COMMON FOR ALL MOVEMENTS
2
ABUNDANT SOWING
A FOCUS ON MULTIPLICATION AND STARTING NEW GROUPS IS NECESSARY FOR A DMM TO GAIN MOMENTUM
3
FOCUSED
C-PLANTING
ALL DMMs OPERATE WITH SCRIPTURE AS THE UNQUESTIONED AUTHORITY AND GUIDE FOR THE MOVEMENT
4
AUTHORITY
OF WORD
WHILE MOVEMENTS OFTEN BEGIN WITH OUTSIDE PARTNERS, THE PRIMARY LEADERS AND CATALYSTS ARE LOCAL BELIEVERS
5
LOCAL LEADERSHIP
SACRIFICIAL BI-VOCATIONAL LEADERS AND A STRONG
PRIESTHOOD OF BELIEVER CULTURE FUEL MOST DMMs
6
LAY
LEADERSHIP
MULTIPLICATION HAPPENS THROUGH REPRODUCING HOUSE GROUPS WHO'VE BEEN GIVEN THE AUTHORITY TO MULTIPLY
7
CELL OR HOUSE CHURCHES
NEW HOUSE CHURCHES' FOCUS IS OUTWARD AS THEY LOOK TO MULTIPLY NEW GROUPS, NOT GROW THEMSELVES
8
CP-FOCUSED CHURCHES
NEW LEADERS AND GROUPS ARISE QUICKLY AS THE REPRODUCTION PACE IS FASTER THAN ONE LEADER'S CONTROL
9
RAPID MULTI-PLICATION
WITH DEVOTED FOCUS ON OBEYING AND SHARING, THE MULTIPLYING CHURCHES EXHIBIT CHARACTERISTICS OF CHRIST
