Excerpt from the Introduction: "Let us expose a myth. You may have heard a whisper just now, 'Church multiplication sounds nice, but it requires a lot of money, specialized education, sophisticated organization, high-powered executive leadership, and costly buildings. Answer this with fact: Churches multiply more readily around the world where these things are lacking!"

I have seen to date."
