The Math of the Million

You cannot pastor 1,000,000 people from a pulpit; you pastor them in living rooms. Our Life Group philosophy is modeled after the Jethro Principle and the Pattern of Twelve.

• The 12-Factor: Each Life Group leader is tasked with discipling 12 people. When a group hits 15, it multiplies into two new groups. This geometric growth is the primary way we will track and care for 1 million converts.

Local Care & Global Connectivity

Life Groups are the “Heartbeat” of Church Jehova Nissi.

• In Manitoba: Groups meet weekly in coffee shops, homes, and offices across the province. They provide the “Safety Net” for our members—providing meals during sickness, financial help during job loss, and spiritual accountability.
• Global Digital Groups: For our members in remote parts of Africa or restricted areas of Asia, we host Global Digital Life Groups via encrypted video platforms. This allows a believer in a small village to be “pastored” by a leader in Winnipeg, ensuring no one is left behind.

This is a unique benefit of our Global Membership.

• Community Development Grants: Member Life Groups in Africa and Asia can apply for “Micro-Grants” (ranging from $500 to $5,000) to fund local community projects—like fixing a well, starting a community garden, or paying for a member’s emergency surgery.
• The “Acts 2” Model: We believe in the radical sharing of resources. Our Winnipeg Life Groups “adopt” a sister Life Group in Africa or Asia, providing a direct pipeline of prayer and financial support.
