The Power of Multiplication
This past week I had the privilege of attending the Exponential Conference in Orlando, Florida. It is the largest gathering of church multipliers in the world. There were many things that I learned at the conference, but nothing impressed me more than the power of multiplication. Multiplication occurs in the church when everyone contributes to see new churches form. A really old math mathematician named Leonardo Fibonacci illustrated the power of multiplication by solving a problem of rabbits. He was challenged to figure out how many rabbits could a single pair in a room by themselves reproduce in a year if a new pair is produced every month who can also reproduce. He formed a pattern called a Fibonacci Sequence (made famous by The Davinci Code) He concluded that after one year there would be 233 pairs of rabbits and after two years there would be 150,000. Multiplication is a powerful force and when we in the church commit to becoming multipliers, God can use us to do great things in his kingdom. God bless all of you and have a great week!
