Power to Change Australia commissioned McCrindle to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on young Christians.
This report, commissioned by Power to Change, compiles quantitative data from an online survey of 500 Australians aged 16-22 living in Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney. The research objectives focused on understanding the impact of COVID-19 on young adults who had ceased attending their churches during 2020 and 2021. An online panel was used to engage young adults (aged 18-22) who attended church at least monthly in 2019.
Power to Change also conducted ten in-depth interviews with church pastors and leaders from various denominations and states. These interviews aimed to delve deeper into the effects of COVID-19 and related restrictions on the church engagement of young Australians. McCrindle reviewed the transcripts of these interviews and integrated a selection of insights into this report, providing valuable quotes and case studies.

This months SHIFTm2M - Movement Builders - How to put the Send/Multiply part of your Primary Pathway in place webinar was fantastic. John North and Aaron Daniell led a fantastic interactive session for Movement Builder practitioners to think about and share their experience.
How to build a multiplication strategy needs a mindset shift as most churches focus on training more evangelists which is an addition strategy.
Aaron explained the Multiplication Maturity model by asking 4 key questions:
1. Are we a church that does discipleship?
2. Are we a church that makes disciples?
3. Are we a church that makes disciplemakers?
4. Are we a church that makes multipliers?
I wonder where your church or ministry’s maturity be?
John led the discussion about how to create a multiplication strategy and changing the DNA to become one of “internal multiplication”, how to choose a multiplication strategy and how to plan to identify and develop multiplication leaders.
