New Life 2010

At a 1998 summit of ABC church planters, regional leaders and national staff New Life 2010 was envisioned. The vision included 1,000,010 new disciples, 1,010 new church plants and a multitude of caring ministries to transform our congregations by the year 2010.

So how are we doing?

By the beginning of 2006 congregations reported 441,479 baptisms and 339 new church plants and many new caring ministries and church transformation initiatives. We thank God for these signs of new life.
