This brings the total num- ber of Little Prayer Chapels to 20 with 15 congregations each. The total number of Ecumenical church congregations in the south east will be 300. It is our expectation that in ten years each of these congregations will have matured in leadership to have relocated to their own location. Some will replicate the Little Prayer Chapel while others will go on to be standing congregations.The Little Prayer Chapels will provide intern opportunities for our internation- al Pastors to come to the U.S.and learn to live a servant leader’s life as mission- aries to the local communities we serve. The Ecumenical University will serve as an intercity, interstate and even an international exchange for teaching, training and deploying church leaders to the mission eld worldwide.33
