Tonight we recognize and celebrate New Life Friends Church (Vancouver, WA) as an official Northwest Yearly Meeting “church”.

The work is far from over, so please join us in praying for New Life Friends Church ongoing.
EFC-ER's Multiplication Sunday is quickly approaching (June 5).
Big picture we are challenging every EFC church to ensure their congregation has a culture of making new disciples, and maturing disciples. We desire that same cultural value be core in our cooperative ministry efforts. Together we make new disciples and help existing disciples to mature in their faith.
In particular we are encouraging our churches to think in terms of making disciples in new places - and specifically in our own backyards. North American has become one of the largest mission fields in the world. Jesus is inviting us to join him to make disciples and gather them in new kingdom communities. The Multiplication Team is encouraging you and your congregation to say yes to Jesus's invitation.
Whether you pray, go, give, or send, we can say yes by becoming everyday missionaries.
Here's a resource to help you think more about making disciples and gathering them in new kingdom communities.

Are you ready for this?
A missional community is not a “holy huddle”, renamed small group or Bible study.
Your goal is to live increasingly like a family, together on mission.
Let your folks know that healthy things always grow and we are trusting God for growth and multiplication, right from the start.
That way you’ll avoid a ‘bait and switch' reaction people can have when they thought they joined your group for life.
Listen to how these leaders are preparing their groups for growth and multiplication...
