PROMISED LAND LIVING

THE SMALL GROUP JOURNEY (COHORT) REMAINS THE CORE PRODUCT OF PROMISED LAND LIVING. THE NUMBER OF COHORTS THAT RAN IN 2025 DECREASED FROM 16 TO 15, AVERAGING 6 ATTENDEES IN EACH. EACH COHORT RUNS 12-13 WEEKS, WITH A MAJORITY MEETING VIRTUALLY BI-WEEKLY OR WEEKLY. MEN MEET WITH MEN. WOMEN MEET WITH WOMEN. THERE WAS NOT A MARRIAGE COHORT IN 2025. PARTICIPANTS LEAVE WITH THE FOLLOWING: 1.NAMING OF ONE PERSONAL LIE THAT HAS RULED AND ROBBED AND BLOCKED THE ABUNDANT LIFE IN CHRIST AND A METHOD (AND TRAINING IN THAT METHOD) BY WHICH TO SHIFT INTO THE TRUTH THAT RESTORES THAT ABUNDANT LIFE. 2.NAMING OF A "HEARTLAND PHRASE" THAT CALLS OUT THE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE DESIGN OF EACH PARTICIPANT, WITH TRAINING ON HOW TO LIVE FROM THAT TRUTH. 3.TRAINING IN HOW TO EXPERIENCE AND REPRESENT ONESELF IN A SAFE AND SACRED COMMUNITY, STRENGTHENING AND INTEGRATING THE SOUL, PREPARING IT FOR SERVICE POST JOURNEY.

PROMISED LAND LIVING CHANGED THE VERNACULAR FROM COACH PRESENTER TO DISCIPLESHIP COACHES (DCS) TO REFLECT THE ACTUAL ROLE OF THE FACILITATOR IN THE JOURNEY. ALIGNING THE WEBSITE AND MARKETING MATERIALS BECAME PART OF THAT PROJECT. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DC PIPELINE, THE CUSTOMER OF PROMISED LAND LIVING, GREW AS FOLLOWS: 1.WE INCREASED THE BENCH OF DCS FROM 36 TO 43 BY THE END OF THE YEAR, WITH 3 DCS CHOOSING NOT TO RENEW THEIR LICENSE FOR 2026. OUR GOAL IS AN 80% RETENTION RATE; WE HAD A 93% RETENTION RATE IN 2025. 2.THE DC ANNUAL IN-PERSON CONFERENCE WAS ATTENDED BY 75% OF OUR DCS. 3.OUR QUARTERLY TRAININGS HAD SLUGGISH ATTENDANCE IN 2025, AND WE HAVE MODIFIED THE DESIGN AND LICENSING AGREEMENT TO ENSURE STRONGER ENGAGEMENT IN 2026. 4.OUR DROP IN COHORTS WAS DUE PRIMARILY TO RELIANCE ON OTHERS RECRUITING FOR COHORTS. A NEW INITIATIVE CALLED COMMUNITY WORKSPACE WAS CREATED TO SUPPORT DCS IN RECRUITING DIRECTLY FOR THEIR OWN COHORTS. WE ANTICIPATE SEEING A JUMP IN THE NUMBER OF FULFILLED COHORTS AS A RESULT OF THAT AND OTHER INITIATIVES TO SUPPORT THE SUCCESSFUL LAUNCHING OF GROUPS.
