Why focus on tracking Key Performance Indicators of churches in Orange County and Los Angeles County?
Orange County ("OC") has 34 Municipalities and Los Angeles has 88 Municipalities. Success in building churches in OC and LA can inspire development of successful church models in all 482 California municipalities. This can then inspire the building of mature churches in the 2438 municipalities of Mexico. In this way, churches can reach more than 150 million people. As churches in California and Mexico increasingly transform culture, the success should spread from "Jerusalem and Judea" to Samaria and the ends of the earth.
How can the Orange County and Los Angeles model be replicated elsewhere?
As proven by California companies (Apple, Intel, Cisco, etc.) and California musicians (the Beach Boys, Eagles, etc.), when we get it right in California, the rest of the world quickly follows.
What is the vision for extending our Lord's covenant of peace?
We respect covenant theology teachings about the role of the church. Fundamentally, we believe that that God describes covenantal relationships in terms of peace. See, e.g., Numbers 25:12, Ezekiel 34:25, Ezekiel 37:26, Isaiah 54:20, etc.
How is the Great Commission extended through peacemaking?
In Matthew 28:19-20, Christ says, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Our Lord encourages obedience to His commands. Peacemaking helps us focus on commands that maintain peace and purity. See, e.g., www.BiblicalPeace.com/Purity
