#1 - Incubate leaders and their ministries, known as the A12 rule or the Assignment of 12. Specifically the senior pastor signs on to raising up and releasing up to 12 full-time ministers in his life time, in the tradition of Jesus himself who raised up 12 apostles. This is the legacy mandate.
#2 - 10 x 100 rule. Rather than raise up one church of 1000 people, raise up 10 churches of 100. This is a multi-site city strategy to better penetrate and incarnate the gospel, while releasing more leaders to do the work of the ministry. It's meant to facilitate a viral church multiplication model. This is the impact mandate.
#3 - Boutique church - one pastor, one church, one purse. This is the 1 x 1 x 1 rule. The purpose of this rule is to keep the pastor close to the people for the purpose of shepherding them into the Lordship of Jesus. This is the discipleship mandate. Additionally, it's to raise up a congregation that can finance the livelihood of one full-time minister.
