About Us
Redeemed to Multiply
As followers of Jesus, we have been redeemed with the purpose of multiplying God’s image throughout the earth. Even looking back at the history of God’s chosen people Israel, who He always intended to be a blessing to all nations (Gen. 22:18), we see that His purpose in freeing them from slavery was so they could worship Him (Ex.7:16, 8:1, 8:20, 9:1, 9:13, 10:3).
Through Jesus, God has made us a kingdom of priests with the purpose of worshiping Him and leading others to worship Him (1 Pet. 2:9). God is glorified and His image is multiplied throughout the earth as we make disciples (image-bearers of God) who make disciples (Mt. 28:18-20).
What We Do
We equip and coach followers of Jesus to be disciple-makers from their communities to the nations for the spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the strengthening of His Church.
The Saleebys
The Saleebys are seeking disciple-making movements from their home in Columbia, SC.
As a family we are following Jesus together and applying Jesus’ and the Apostles’ patterns and behaviors as seen in Scriptures to daily life to encourage the growth of the Kingdom of God. We constantly enter into new relationships to intentionally engage with the gospel of Jesus Christ, equip people as we go, and encourage the establishment of simple churches.
We want to model what we would like to see multiplied across the city, state, and nation. We pray the Lord raises up future simple church leaders who will reproduce the same wherever they go.
Why We Do What We Do
Jesus highlighted two great commandments (Mt. 22:37-40). The first is to love the Lord and the second is to love our neighbors. To love the Lord, we hear from Him through His Word and obey what He says. To love our neighbors, we teach them to do the same by modeling what He says and does in Scripture in simple and reproducible ways.
Jesus, in the Great Commission (Mt. 28:18-20), mandates the making of disciples, baptizing them, and teaching them to do all He has commanded.
Jesus said in John 14:15, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” We simply want to obey our King.
We believe in the power of the Word of God (Heb. 4:12-13, 2 Tim. 3:16- 17), and we believe in the power of the Holy Spirit (Jn. 14:25-26, 15:26-27, 16:7-11, Acts 1:8). All followers of Jesus have been given the Word and His Spirit to teach and guide them and others into all truth.
The Bible teaches that all believers are chosen by God and empowered by the Holy Spirit to proclaim the gospel and disciple others. Being called into a royal priesthood, even a new born-again believer can testify the goodness of God and His work in his/her heart, making other disciples and teaching them to follow Jesus as they grow and go (1 Pet. 2:9). Knowing this, we are confident in the work of the Spirit and the Word to guard the good deposit as followers of Jesus are released to do the work (2 Tim. 1:8- 14).
We believe that the neglect of equipping all the gifts given to the Church has impeded the multiplication of the image of God throughout the earth (Eph. 4:11-13). We need both the prevailing church model and the simple house church model working in unity to equip the Body.
The Bible describes the Body of Christ as a spiritual house of worship, made of living stones being built up to be a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ (1 Pet. 2:4-5). Our goal is to see His Body united for the advancing of the gospel, preparing the Bride, and hastening the return of our King Jesus (2 Pet. 3:11-12a).
