7. What are the advantages of the G12 STRATEGY

8. A. The church ceases to be centered upon a single person to do all the work; with the G12 Strategy, leaders are prepared for the task of the ministry (Eph. 4:12). B. Each believer, man or woman, youth or adult, professional or not, has the opportunity of devoting themselves to produce all of their spiritual potential. 1. LEADERSHIP IS DEVELOPED

10. There is a transformation of the Church from a small grocery store to a supermarket; from a small business that is maintained by one person to a type of mall that is maintained by a manager that has to sell, to pay employees, to buy and stock inventory, all the way down to cleaning. This growth is impossible with the traditional small church model; supporting it is contrary to God; He is not pleased with a small harvest or with a small catch of fish (Luke 5:4-6;13:6-9; Mark 11:12-14, 20; Matt. 9:36-38; Acts 2:47; 6:7). 3. The Church Grows exponentially

14. The “bus-type” effect is eliminated ; that is to say, it’s always full with the same quantity, but thousands have passed through as passengers only for a short time. With the G12 Strategy, we will keep the new believers not only inside the Church, but we also will form them as the leaders of those that will continue arriving. 4. The back door is closed

15. Like a bonfire, all the flames keep burning, we too must stimulate each other to love and good works (Heb. 10:24). In this atmosphere it is difficult for someone to become separated from the Lord and the vision because of their closeness, when used in an appropriate way, this creates relationships as strong as a cord of three strands (Eccl. 4:9-12). 5. The brethren are strengthened

16. The limit for growth doesn't depend upon the size of the building because the vision doesn't depend upon four walls; but rather, the limit depends upon cell multiplication that turns our gaze outside of the church, rather than inside only (Matt. 9:35-38). If we lose this outward perspective of the church, we lose the end of the Church here in the earth (Mt.28:18-20). 6. The Church multiplies

20. The G12 strategy makes the participation of others in the work of ministry increase; when empowered, they work, promoting and protecting themselves in the vision, and as a result, their commitment is enlivened and strengthened. Traditional churches do not provide enough opportunities for other believers to serve, and because of this, they complain. 10. Commitment increases

21. In these three passages the function of the shepherd and the sheep is made clear: 1. Acts 6:1-4 2. Eph. 4:11, 12 3. Heb. 13:17 “ When the sheep carry their burden, the Shepherd is able to carry his.” 11. The Senior Pastor is FREE

22. In a persecution of the church or of its leader, the congregation that is organized through the G12 survives because it doesn't depend upon a single man, a single place or a single building. A man has a limited capacity; a building has limited space; but cells can increase every day without limit, and through the power of this method the church is consolidated. In spite of the limits of a man or of a building, cells will continue multiplying. 12. The Church survives

23. A man has a limited capacity, a building has limited space, but the G12 can increase every day without limit, and through the power of this method the church is consolidated. In spite of the limits of a man or of a building, the G12 groups will continue multiplying. 12. The Church survives
