A Vision for Louisiana
Our vision is to join God’s activity to see His kingdom expand in North America by 1% over the next decade.
How can it be realized?
1% of the lost population in North America is approximately 2,750,000 people. Over the next decade, we desire to plant 11,000 new churches that multiply once and baptize 125 new believers. This would result in 22,000 new churches reaching 125 lost people with the gospel for a total of 2,750,000 new believers. 2,750,000 people is 1% of the lost population of North America.
