1992: Founder, Paul Becker, received a vision from the Lord to found an organization to train church planters, using his experience in church planting.
1994: Dynamic Church Planting International (DCPI) was founded.
1995: God gave DCPI the audacious vision of training leaders to plant ONE THOUSAND churches. DCPI expanded over the years to multiple countries and multiple languages, with a vision of 20,000 churches then 1 million churches and reaching to every country of the world.
Early 2000s: DCPI expanded its model to make every training sponsored and to certify trainers, so that we could continue training pastors in places we would never go and in languages we will never speak. This sponsorship approach ensures that financial barriers do not hinder the equipping of church leaders globally.
2009: God knocked down an old oak tree that had been significant to our founder Paul Becker, and He used this to tell Paul that the One Million Church Vision was too small. God was calling DCPI to equip men and women of God to plant FIVE MILLION CHURCHES. In obedience, the DCPI team believed God, and we have been pursuing His vision enthusiastically to this day!
2021: God fulfilled the 1 million church vision when DCPI trained the leader who will plant the 1 millionth church!
2022: DCPI Founder Paul Becker passed during the exact week that DCPI's global leaders gathered for a Global Vision Summit. God showed DCPI leaders the way forward and reminded them that the 5 Million Church Vision is God's vision!
2023: DCPI Executive Director, Scott Kirk, affirmed as new DCPI President. DCPI sees it's highest number of leaders trained ever!
Today: DCPI is still on track to train leaders to plant 5 Million Churches to reach the world for Christ! Great things are happening at DCPI, and we are accelerating toward our "Every-Country Vision" and the "Five Million Church Vision."
