A conversation with Stan Parks, one of the three authors of Forests in the Seed: How Kingdom Movements are Multiplying Across the Unreached World.They track the rise of multiplying movements of disciples and churches around the world and identify their characteristics.Some encouraging news:Recent research covering 1995 to the present has made a staggering discovery. Many movements fade away before reaching multiple generations, but those that do reach multiple generations become a powerful, nearly unstoppable force. An astonishing 99% of movements that have reached multiple branches of four or more generations of churches have thrived since their inception. The disciples and churches in these movements have grown exponentially at an astounding average rate of 23% yearly—much faster than the global population. The total number of disciples in these movements has doubled every 3.5 years—a testament to the potency of divine multiplication.This global growth has occurred over four distinct stages:From 1995 to 2000, from 10,000 to over 100,000 disciplesFrom 2000 to 2005, from 100,000 to over 1 million disciplesFrom 2005 to 2015, from 1 million to over 10 millionFrom 2015 to 2024, the number surpassed 100 million.
