DELEGATES to the second Multiply International Leaders’ Conference enjoyed a fortnight’s stay in christian community houses across the UK, coupled with varied activity with the Jesus Fellowship.

Saturday’s conference opened with James Treasure, of Ichthus Christian Fellowship, sharing some convictions of church planting, including the pre-eminence of love. “When you get fed up, love even more,” he said.

In the afternoon three national representatives, including Matthew Oluwasesin from Nigeria, spoke of how they were seeking to extend the Network. Multiply Nigeria recently hosted a conference for 47 people from 20 churches, and local partners meet every month. “We share, eat together and help one another materially and spiritually,” Matthew explained.

Seminars and a question and answer session enabled delegates to discover how the different aspects of Jesus Fellowship work together.

In the evening, Jesus Fellowship senior pastor, Noel Stanton, spoke on leadership essentials. Exhorted to examine ourselves, the response time overflowed with prayers of repentance, deliverance and commitment.

Multiply is for the small, the large, the rich and the poor. “What we can offer is not only our advice, time, love and experience, but also that of other partner churches who may understand your culture better,” as Mike Farrant said. Why not jump in and join with God in creating something new where you are?
