“Founders, The Karis Group Authors, The Rabbit and the Elephant Ralph Moore again demonstrates why he is one of the leading voices in the missional movement. How to Multiply Your Church addresses a key oversight in many of the church-planting conversations: the multiplication strategy of the church. This book could become a standard for students, church planters, pastors and leaders who believe God can radically change the landscape of our world through His Church.”

Dr. Rodney A. Harrison

“multiply?” Ralph Moore dismantles our objections and gives us every reason to say yes.”

Rod Koop

“Facilitator, Foursquare Church Multiplication Packing decades of experience into one unique wallop, Ralph Moore stretches the boundaries of church-growth thinking through the genius of brilliant and simple innovations set forth in a refreshing “can do” spirit. Learn how your church, no matter what size, can seize divine momentum and sustain exponential multi-generational impact.”

Norman Nakanishi

“Director of Church Resource Ministries, Australia Author, Movements That Change the World There are very few people in America qualified to write a book about multiplying churches. Ralph Moore is one of the few. While others grow Godzilla-sized churches, Ralph quietly sets out to multiply and release leaders and churches to the ends of the earth. For that reason, he is one of my heroes.”

Neil Cole

“Director of Doctoral Studies, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary Author, Seven Steps to Church Planting and Spin-off Churches The practical wisdom and no-nonsense frankness of Ralph Moore’s leadership style shines throughout this book. He is a twenty-first century church planter who has found how to lead with a mindset and capability consistent with the Holy Spirit’s tactics in the New Testament. I know no more effective current model as a pastoral advocate for and dynamic practitioner of church planting than him.”

Jack W. Hayford

“Chancellor, The King’s Seminary Ralph is one of the premier practitioners of church planting in the English-speaking world. You will be encouraged by this book, which takes the unnecessary complexity out of the process and adds fun and excitement to your Kingdom expansion adventure.”

David Housholder

“There is hardly any church of any type, denomination or size that could not learn from this book. Through examples from his own experience and clear application of biblical principles, Ralph leads us back to the future. The answers are not in sterile models and methods but rather in dynamic movements. As he so eloquently describes it, the New Testament Church is not the “primitive Church” but the “prototype.”

Tony and Felicity Dale

“Ralph Moore has written an intriguing book to tell us how to multiply a church in the most effective way. He was a student of mine in the 1970s and we have been friends for the past 30 years, and now he has written a book to point us toward the Great Commission—to “go and make disciples of all nations.” May God use this book to strengthen churches everywhere.”
