					<description><![CDATA[Over the past several blogs we’ve explored the need for church multiplication vs church addition; but to accomplish multiplication we need to fundamentally redefine church; and once redefined, we need to transition from an elephant church model to a rabbit church model. How do we achieve all this? With Gatherers. Gatherers are the “go to” <a class="read-more-link" href="https://www.visionusa.org/gatherers-the-single-biggest-missing-tool/">Read More</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[To focus intentionally on multiplying Jesus&#8217; church, we must understand clearly who and what the church is. Let me propose four steps to explore as we seek such clarity. Re-calibrate by recognizing we need to run on new rails.

					<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s face it, God is a God of multiplication. He multiplies in His creation &#8211; from grass to clouds to bushes to trees. Humans created in His image multiply and have multiplying systems. It should come as no surprise to us, then, that God designed His Church to multiply – to have radical impact in <a class="read-more-link" href="https://www.visionusa.org/recalibrating-church-biblical-multiplication-vs-american-addition/">Read More</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There are a great many metrics one uses to determine the success of a GSE processed church. There are baptisms, conversions, numbers, and so on. One of my favorite personal joys is the connection and relationship between the Gatherer and the Shepherd. Scriptures define the Shepherd in the GSE relationship.

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; by Matt Frazier-VisionUSA Field Team &#160; We look to examine the Gatherer this month as we continue to learn about the three roles of the GSE Process (Gatherer, Shepherd, and Elder). The Gatherer is the one role that is not specifically named in the Bible. However, the concept saturates the New Testament. In fact, <a class="read-more-link" href="https://www.visionusa.org/the-gatherer/">Read More</a>]]></description>
