This month’s Multiply Network focus is on church planting networks. We are excited for you to hear from leaders like Jonathan Lambert from ARC (Association of Related Churches), Greg Laing (C2C Network) and, in our podcast this month, Jared Siebert (New Leaf Network). These guys are helping lead networks that some of our churches, pastors and districts have connected with to help move the vision forward as it relates to seeing our 2020 Initiative achieved (1500 Disciple-Making Communities by 2020). We hope that, as you get to know them and the organizations they lead, you will hear their hearts and passion for Canada. As the PAOC, we want to increase connection with each of these groups to work together to reach Canada. We can’t do this alone! I encourage you to read and listen to all the content provided. Every month we try cover more than just church planting talk; there are leadership ideas, Canadian-culture conversations and vision for the future of the Church in Canada. Thanks for taking the time explore our Multiply Network site! We trust you will be inspired and encouraged as we champion church multiplication in Canada!

Interviews
Interview with Jonathan Lambert
Jonathan and Natasha are passionate about the local church. They have a heart to see people discover the love of Jesus, and the fullness of life that He came to offer everyone. That passion has led to great faith steps over the years, the greatest of which compelled them to relocate their family to Calgary, AB in the winter of 2012. Thus began the Experience Church journey. From the beginning the goal was to gather people around God’s vision to transform the city, nation and beyond. In this interview, Jonathan talks about church planting in Calgary and being part of the ARC Network.

The primary purpose of the Multiply Network is to champion church multiplication because we believe every Canadian must have an access point to the gospel. We want to be an engine that helps drive the vision of church multiplication forward into
new communities, cultures and contexts in Canada! We hope you will be inspired by the stories and resourced by the shared learning.
In this episode we chat Canadian culture, church multiplication, best practices and new partnerships with Jared Siebert. He currently serves as the National Director for Church Development for the Free Methodist Church in Canada and is the author of Gutsy: (Mis)Adventures in Canadian Church Planting. When he's not doing those things, he leads a new church multiplication network called the New Leaf Network. What a great interview!
