WHERE WE’RE GOING
The Church is not a building, a program, or a platform, but God's people—and people are the enduring prize.
100,000 Souls
We are driven by a singular, ten-year vision: to see 100,000 people across the Intermountain West come to know Jesus.
And we are cultivating a collaborative network of local churches that look beyond walls to take shared responsibility for their region.
How?
Together.
Our network of churches prays and gives financially to see new disciple-making churches planted around the Intermountain West.

1. Prayer
Every move of God starts with prayer.
We pray because our vision exceeds our abilities. Prayer is the soul’s deepest cry of rebellion against the way things are. It’s seeing the lost of this world and crying out, “This does not glorify God, and so, by God’s grace, it must change.” - Dr David Garrison
We believe in simple ideas, strong relationships, and lasting impact. What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited for what’s ahead.

Initiative:
People Are The Prize
God has given us a dream and prayer to see 100,000 souls come to Christ in the next ten years in the Intermountain West. This only happens through the impassioned prayer of God’s people.
“The man who can get believers to praying would, under God, usher in the greatest revival that the world has ever known.”
— Leonard Ravenhill
Our Prize Challenge invites Christians to pray for 10 people they know who are far away from God— and we are asking them to pray daily for these individuals for one year. You will receive a prayer bookmark when you sign up for this challenge. Our Centurion Challenge invites Christians to pray for their 10 individuals and sponsor 9 others to pray for 10 individuals each- effectively praying for 100 individuals daily. You will receive a centurion coin and 10 prayer bookmarks when you sign up for this challenge.
God has the vision to see all people saved; they are his prize.

2. Going Out Among the Lost
The model of Jesus
In Luke 10, we’re told that Jesus sent His disciples
“two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go.” (Luke 10:1 NIV)
As Jesus’ disciples, we want to partner with Him in this ministry and prepare the way for Jesus to expand God’s Kingdom by going out to pray and engage with people in our communities. We are desperate to see Jesus ignite the hearts of our friends and neighbors and work miracles in our streets. We go out with the expectation that Jesus is with us, that He is leading us, and that He will stay after us to do miraculous works in the hearts of our friends and neighbors. Jesus went into every town and village during His time on Earth, and we’re asking Him to do it again today.
We want to make sure each church we assist in formation has a plan to reach those in their neighborhoods who are lost, not with ads and billboards alone, but by training their people to go out to the lost sheep in our midst.
3. Disciple Making
We have no other mission
We are committed to make sure each church we plant integrates Jesus’ commission for His church with an intentional strategy to make disciples who make disciples.
We have assisted in planting pioneer Disciple-Making churches. Real Life Ministries in Post Falls, ID, has influenced thousands of other churches to incorporate Disciple-Making principles into their church strategy. We are currently pioneering teams in Disciple Making Movement principles in Salt Lake City and Nampa, ID, and are training a team in North Idaho.
We believe making disciples is possible in both attractional and missional styles of church and are we are looking to pioneer new ideas in many styles.
We have realized, to see 100,000 souls come to Christ, every church must grow to become its best and we are praying every church in our movement doubles in size and effectiveness in its work.
Mobilize Your Church Through Prayer
When local churches prioritize daily intercession for the lost, the results are tangible. By championing the "People are the Prize" bookmark initiative, our participating partner churches saw their average baptisms double. Equip your congregation with this simple, powerful tool to intentionally pray for their neighbors, friends, and family.
Partner in the 100,000 Souls Vision
We are believing God for 100,000 lives changed by 2033. Reaching the most unchurched region in the nation requires a unified, open-handed effort. Whether you are an established church ready to become a sender, a leader exploring a call to plant, or a partner willing to invest resources into the Kingdom, you have a vital role in this movement.
4. Plant Churches
The Natural step of Disciples gathering
When you make disciples, church planting is the obvious conclusion. They say new churches are the best at reaching people far from God, but we like to think that new churches are not started, they are built from living stones (1 Cor 10:31) and when we make disciples, the elements necessary for a new church emerge.
In order to see the decline of the American church start to reverse we need to see the number of churches planted in America double. This will likely mean changing some of the model in the way we fund and resource church plants and will require more coaching, support and training than church planting efforts in the past.
Our goal as a network is to see at least 20 traditional style churches planted between 2023 and 2033, we are also praying for God to break open a non-traditional movement in our region of disciple making. We have seen 1 traditional church start in 2023 and 1 non-traditional church based on Disciple Making Movement principles. We are praying for double in 2024.
