A blueprint for revival
Ten church-planting schools, in ten regions, putting an INC church within reach of a quarter of the world's population.
INC Global · Vision
INC is a truly global movement, on every continent of the globe except Antarctica. We believe this is the time for enlargement and for breakthrough.
This represents over 2 billion people. That's a quarter of the world population within reach of an INC church.
INC Global · Our goal
Our vision is for more people to have access to an INC church. We already have over 1,750 churches, and we have a mission to see that number increase by at least 70%.
Ten schools, each producing 25 church planters a year, means another 1,250 churches in the next five years.
INC Global · Strategy
Every region has a named leader, a location, a recruitment plan, a curriculum, a follow-up structure and a costing. Open any region to see the plan.
Ps Craig Mellican · YMCA Chiang Rai
The current home of INC church New Life Asia.
Encouraging those already part of the INC movement to join, and inviting those who may feel called to the vision.
Each potential church planter is connected with their sending pastor and another external pastor for ongoing support, in addition to 6-monthly in-service trainings. Only committed planters receive training and resource support.
About $473 AUD. Covers accommodation, transport and food. The student pays half.
Followed by every November and May onwards.
Update: On 11 November, 25 people signed up to attend the Thailand church planting interest weekend.
Ps Rahul and Ps Deepak · Agra and Bangalore
A church-planting school is already running in Agra, producing 25+ churches a year. A couple are already willing to host the school in Bangalore, the Silicon Valley of India.
With schools here already established, current church planters will encourage other passionate people in their communities to join.
A loose estimate covering accommodation, food, salaries, faculty remuneration and incidental expenses.
The school in Agra has been operating for 7 years. Bangalore start date to be confirmed.
Ps Maickel & Romina Caroca · Chile
The first church-planting school was established in Chile in 2012. Since then another 4 schools have been established, servicing 7 nations.
There are currently 34 churches across the 7 nations. 108 church plants have begun.

The school in Balasuna has been operating for 36 years.
Ps Fakhry Hanna · Cairo, Egypt
INC churches already established in this area mean the church-planting school will be well supported.
Ps Fakhry oversees the INC churches of 8 Arabic nations already, making it easy to spread the word about the school and encourage people to join.
About $2.9K AUD per month. Includes staff and outgoings.
Estimated start of early 2027.
Ps Stephen Mohan · Highpointe Life
Our INC church in Malaysia. Hosting the school here will help keep costs to a minimum.

Sofia and Plovdiv, Bulgaria
Buildings are already established with people ready to serve. There is interest from those in Ukraine and the Western Balkans to host teaching as well.
Publicising the opportunity to 20k+ followers on social media, plus personal invitations through church and friend networks.
Regular seminars, mentoring and apostolic care to encourage long-term fruit and stability of the churches.
Bojidar Simeonov carried great passion for the Balkans. We believe his seed will still produce fruit.
Target regions
The United Kingdom and Australia are both named in the ten target regions. Detailed strategies, leaders, locations and costings are being worked through with regional leaders and will be published as they are confirmed.
