Dioresley Iguita and other pastors of the Assemblies of God in Colombia were invited to a workshop on the importance of church planting and the great need the country has for more churches.

He remembers it was a challenge from the beginning after utilizing the Take Your Church’s Pulse tool from Multiplication Network Ministries (MNM). Although he had thought his local church was doing well, he realized they had failed to fulfill the Great Commission.

“The tools from MNM have helped me but what most challenged me was realizing that we can do so many more things than we were already doing,” Dioresley says.

For this pastor, the health of a church no longer represents having a great number of members but the multiplication of more churches. “To do things well, we need to multiply ourselves every day and be focused on this growth from the outside and not just be closed up within,” he says.

Pastor Dioresley plans to become involved in the church planter training provided by MNM and hopes to learn and use the practical tools that MNM provides to churches in order to motivate the leadership of his community to plant around 100 new churches.
