What would a multiplication movement look like in the West? There is no better example of church multiplication than the Wesleyan revival, which grew exponentially in the early years. The movement started with only a handful of people in the 1700s and grew into a movement that reached thousands of people and established hundreds of societies in England and the United States. From 1850 to 1905, American Methodism averaged planting more than seven hundred churches per year. Do the math! In this book, Winfield Bevins identifies 10 principles that propelled the Methodist movement and are present in other church multiplication movements. Since “the mark of a true leader is their ability to prepare their organization to outlast themselves,” as Bevins says, we should take notes from John Wesley whose influence lives well beyond his own life.
