Project: WI+H Movement
Leader: Walter Harvey
The WI+H Movement exists to transform every community’s pain points through a disciple making movement and using business as a tool of justice.
We come alongside existing churches and new pastors to help them imagine new possibilities for their community. Through a process of WI+H Connection (1 hour), then WI+H Ministry Studio (1.5 days), WI+H Cohorts (12 months/meeting quarterly) and Coaching (meeting monthly with leads and teams), we assist these teams with Listening, Learning and then Leading in ways that are effective to disciple making and transformation in each cultural and geographic context.
Phase 1: Listen – 1 month/4 Weeks – Pastors and leaders listen to God and the community. They discover God’s agenda and imagine lives and neighborhoods the way God sees them.
Phase 2: Learn – 2 Months/8 Weeks – Cohorts learn Discipleship making & community transformation strategies and models. They design innovative models and strategies that lead to change.
Phase 3: Lead – 9 Months – Cohorts launch innovative models, capture learning, and make adjustments. They also begin to share models and look for new opportunities to influence and impact.
Our customer is an existing pastor or new pastor who is experiencing gaps in realizing the vision of disciple making and community transformation. The primary context that WI+H operates in is urban or inner city, because there is more prevalent, systemic and generational pain. Economic development and unleashing ordinary believers in Christ into spiritual disciple making (not Sunday worship experiences nor occasional outreach) are often weak spots for the Church and Faith-based non-profit in these communities.
