Saturation Church Planting · The Journey
What if your church multiplied itself
into every corner of your city?
A coaching journey for church leadership teams — rooted in the Antioch model — to make disciples, raise up leaders, and catalyze church multiplication where God has placed you.
The Real Struggle
The questions keeping
pastors up at night
You love your people. You believe in the mission. But somewhere between Sunday morning and Monday reality, the gap feels enormous.
Programs and Sunday attendance aren't producing the kind of transformed, mission-minded believers your church needs. You're doing the work — but multiplication isn't happening.
Leadership burnout is real. You need a team that owns the vision, not just volunteers filling slots. Identifying, developing, and releasing the right leaders feels overwhelming.
Attendance, giving, programs — these tell part of the story. But how do you know if your people are actually growing spiritually and reaching the lost around them?
You feel the call to multiply — to plant, to send, to partner. But the path from vision to multiplication is unclear, and no one has walked alongside you to build it.
Embracing God's Design
The Journey is your
church's renovation
Developed by Saturation Church Planting International, The Journey is a coaching manual for church leadership teams built around seven characteristics of the Antioch church in Acts 11–13.
The Western church has drifted from the New Testament model. We've built institutions when God designed movements. We've gathered when He told us to scatter. We've measured attendance when He measures transformation.
The Journey doesn't just give you new programming — it changes how you think about the church, leadership, and the mission of God. It's worked in nations across six continents. It will work in your city.
“He gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.”
Ephesians 4:11–12

The Five Threshold Values
How you know your
people are truly growing
Not programs. Not attendance. These five measurable qualities in your people's lives are the proof that God's mission is taking root.
Daily, Spirit-led engagement with Scripture as the foundation of every disciple's life.
Every believer telling their story of grace in the natural flow of daily relationships.
Discovering and deploying God-given abilities beyond Sunday mornings — in every sphere of life.
Measurable transformation in relationships, character, and Christlike behavior.
Money, time, relationships — held open-handed and invested for God's kingdom.
The Coaching Relationship
Walk The Journey
with a guide alongside
The Journey isn't a book to read in isolation. It's designed to be walked with a coach who has seen what it looks like when churches embrace this renovation.
“The goal seemed to be churches planted in strategic places, which would in turn naturally touch the many geographies around and between them.”
F.F. Bruce on the Pauline mission strategy
We begin by listening — to your church's story, your geography, your pain points. Where is God already at work?
Monthly or bi-monthly sessions with your leadership team. Each chapter becomes a working session — not just content, but application.
Define your geography, assess your people, structure for multiplication. The outcome is a living strategy rooted in Scripture.
The ultimate aim: a church that holds its resources open-handed, plants new churches, and partners with the global mission.

What pastors are saying
Churches from every context have walked The Journey and found it changed not just their strategy — but how they see the church.
The Journey reoriented our entire leadership team. We stopped asking “how do we grow our church” and started asking “what does God want for this city?” That question changed everything.
For years I was doing ministry alone. The coaching relationship helped me build an interdependent team and gave my leaders permission to lead. We've planted two churches since.
The five threshold values gave us language for what we always knew mattered but couldn't measure. Our people are living the gospel in their workplaces in ways we never saw before.
Your Guide
Called to walk
alongside the church
I serve as a missionary with ABWE International, partnering with churches across regions toward the multiplication vision described in The Journey. Alongside that, I'm part of the EveryEthne network — a movement committed to seeing every people group reached with the gospel.
My calling is simple: help pastors and church leadership teams catch the vision for what their city could look like if every man, woman, and child had a repeated opportunity to encounter the gospel through God's people living it out.
The Journey coaching relationship is built around four commitments: honest conversation, Scripture as the foundation, your geography as the classroom, and a leadership team that grows together toward multiplication. I'm not here to impose a model — I'm here to help you discover what God has already written for your place.
If you're a pastor wrestling with discipleship, leadership development, or the call to plant and multiply — let's talk. The conversation is free. The impact can be generational.
