Director of Church Development & Pastoral Services,
John Pethtel, our Church Planting Task Force, and the
Council on Ministry have been working to help provide
an opportunity for those who are seeking to start new
SDB expressions of faith or revitalizing the ministry
that God has called them to.
We are partnering with Frontline Church Planting
and their annual MULTIPLY Conference to serve SDBs.
Leaders and speakers from around the country will
gather for this weekend to share stories, knowledge,
and strategies with one another. SDBs will have their
own sessions as a cohort before and after to discuss
specifically SDB-related challenges.
We believe that there is great traction in advancing
God’s Kingdom when mission-minded leaders gather to
connect, reflect, and dream about what God is doing in
our midst. There will be great content but we also believe
there will be great relationships built. It is our hope that
by gathering leaders who dare to dream, that God can
and will do something fresh among SDBs — that He will
allow His work to be done among ordinary
folks like us.
The weekend will start on Thursday,
October 22 after dinner time, with an
introductory session with just SDBs.
Friday and Saturday morning, we will join
with others attending the MULTIPLY Con-
ference where there will be a variety of topics and op-
tions of learning available, through the main sessions
and breakouts, to speak to you where your ministry is
currently. During the rest of Saturday and Sunday
morning, we will meet together again as SDBs to wor-
ship and talk about SDB-specific challenges in our min-
istries and to pray for one another.
The MULTIPLY Church Development Conference is
open to all SDBs who are interested in breathing new
life into their local church or our family of churches.
There will be no cost for registration or for lodging
(although this option is limited). The only costs are
your food, time, and travel to Colorado Springs (There
might even be a scholarship available for travel.) More
information will come as we get closer to the date. We
are looking forward to seeing you or someone from your
church there!
Please register at the MULTIPLY Conference web-
site: tiny.cc/MULTIPLY2015 if you are interested in
attending.

Announcing the
MULTIPLY Church
Development Conference
October 22-26, 2015
Colorado Springs, CO
Pastor Bob Peet and the Kingdom of God Church
have been mobilizing people for over a year to begin
an SDB church in the Phoenix, AZ area.
Phoenix is the most populous state capital city in
America, as well as the sixth most populous city in
the USA.
Someone is needed now on the ground to help build,
lead, and focus the congregation.
The Phoenix SDB
group has been meeting monthly. Pastor Bob has
been providing leadership but we know that God is
calling somebody to commit to serving in this Arizona
mission field.
Do you know such a person? Are you a pastor, church
planter, or lay leader who would be willing to provide
leadership for this fledgling group?
Would you be interested in financially supporting
Pastor Bob Peet's travel to minister to these SDB
saints in Phoenix?
If you feel God’s pull in this direction please prayerfully
contact:
