MultiplyUs 11
MultiplyUs 11 took place on March 22, 2023. On this MultiplyUs, we discussed the Asbury Revival, How to Discerng a Movement From God, and How to Reach Gen Z. There’s a lot of talk about movements these days but how do we know when we are living in the middle of one. It was a lot to information to tackle in such a short amount of time, but we are excited how God continues to move. If you were not able to make it, you can catch the recording here!

Grant Foard. Grant worked as a Christian witness in SE Asia prior to COVID. When his field closed, he and his wife didn’t stop. In their community here in North America, they began implementing DMM strategies among nearby Muslims, Hindus, and other neighbors. Within the past couple of years, counting the generational growth through multiple streams, God has raised up 48 ongoing 3/3 groups (Discovery Bible Studies).
Ron Johnson. Ron serves as the Lead Pastor for Restoration Church, a megachurch in Colorado with a new focus on adding parallel streams of “simple churches.” In his presentation, he’ll share the challenges and opportunities found in transitioning prevailing-model churches into reproducible, multiplying “simple churches.”
Bart Shaw. Bart has served in ministry for the past 20 years, with the last 5 years at a megachurch of 12,000 people in Indiana. He is currently Pastor at one of the church’s campuses and also serves as Discipleship Pastor for the entire megachurch, overseeing groups and discipleship-related initiatives. He’s recently begun experimenting with DMM strategies and life practices, both personally and corporately. In his presentation, we’ll hear about his exploration into micro-groups, Zume, and more.
JED. JED helps mobilize, train, and coach new international DMM-focused workers. He serves as the VP of Outreach at Team Expansion, the Int’l Exec Team for Jonathan Project, and the Zume Project lead team. For the past 18 months, he has been prayer-walking through a small town near his home in Louisville. Over the past two weeks, 8 of the people for whom he has been praying have decided to make Jesus their Lord and be baptized.
Corinna and Jon McMurray. The McMurray’s multiple disciples in Canada. They have been active in using Zume and other training materials. More recently they’ve made great progress in several unique segments of their oikos.

Chris McBride. Chris and Rebekah McBride spent 14 years in the Muslim Middle East and saw a movement catalyzed there before returning to the US in 2013. For the last 8 years, Chris has worked in mobilization and serving movements. Over the last two years, Chris and Rebekah have gotten more intentional about starting movements in Central Texas. They are partnering with several local pastors who are working on DMM in their respective areas as well as starting a network of house churches. Currently, they have 7 groups in their Simple Church Networks, targeting a variety of areas from specific neighborhoods and towns, to specific populations, such as the addiction recovery community.
Lee Wood. Lee works in Tampa where he leads a church of churches, a training hub, and a movement. His church exists to launch and grow disciple and church multiplying movements who transform communities until the whole world knows.
Brent Hofen. Brent started Mission Church in 2007 with a goal of making disciples who make disciples. If you’re interested in applying DMM in the context of a North American megachurch, you’ll love hearing the recording of Brent’s testimonies and stories.
Jeff Metzger is the lead pastor at a mega-church in Cincinnati, Ohio. He has been pleasantly surprised at the openness of his church to transition to DMM strategies. During this talk, we will find out how and why this transition might be happening so smoothly.
Rodger Shull works with E3 Partners based in the Raleigh-Durham area and is a young implementer of DMM strategies focused on building community and living life-on-life with those he’s bringing to Christ.
