Incredible numbers

Think about this: our family lives and serves in Santiago, Chile a city of over 6,000,000 people. To effectively reach the city, we need a local church for every 50,000 people. Using this ratio, we need to plant 120 local churches in the city! Wow, that’s a huge undertaking! According to that same formula, we would need an additional 200 churches to reach the entire country… To plant 300+ churches in this country, we probably need to train over 1,000 full-time Christian workers…

Those staggering statistics scream one thing: WE MUST TRAIN LEADERS!!  There is no way a lone-ranger can impact any country.  We cannot do it alone.  We must be willing and committed to train men!
