2025 Year End Report

Marketplace Multipliers

Marketplace Multipliers are ordinary people with extraordinary influence! It’s true in the corporate setting, in small business, working from home and after retirement. It’s true while raising children or grandchildren, and spending time in the classroom, clinic, fitness center or coffeeshop!

In 2019, “Marketplace Multipliers” originated as a ministry of The Wesleyan Church with the goal of equipping laity around the world to unleash their God-given design as they follow the Holy Spirit’s lead, making a difference in their world. Through our rebranding efforts in 2024, Marketplace Multipliers took on the name of “GodWorx” and has continued the work of equipping all Christians to serve as marketplace multipliers, ordinary people integrating their faith and influencing the places they live, work, learn, and play to make disciples and unleash the Kingdom of God wherever they are!

In 2025, the national GodWorx Strategy Team has become an independent 501(c)(3) organization, joining forces with “Mobilize the Church” as we continue to equip and encourage marketplace mulitpliers through resources, tools, and connection opportunities. We are located on Facebook, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn, and offer a growing number of resources on our website, www.godworx.life including curriculum, recommended reading, podcast links, church conference recordings, and ways to connect with the powerful prayer resource, “Praying On Offense.”

The enhanced GodWorx Strategy continues to be a source of both guidance and encouragement as we collectively live out its circular and compounding effects in the lives of marketplace multipliers.

Key Accomplishments

To ensure the GodWorx movement advances with a strong operational foundation even as we seek to further grow and develop the ministry, we are excited to share several key accomplishments in 2025:

• As noted, GodWorx is now a 501(c)(3), collaborating with “Mobilize the Church” for ongoing and expanded ministry.

• We celebrated the development of the GodWorx “Champions Advisory Group,” a team of faithful servants fully committed to the advancement of the GodWorx mission.

• We continued to develop our social media presence as well as the resources available on the GodWorx website.

• We continued to engage, encourage, empower and equip marketplace multipliers, as well as churches interested in hosting a conference, work group, or other collaborative approach.

• We continued developing relationships with key individuals who will be integral in exploring and creating opportunities for the engagement of young adults as marketplace multipliers.

• The PRaying On OFfense (PROOF) app continues to evolve and help leaders grow in their awareness of how God is already at work in the world around them, and how they can best steward their spiritual influence through intentional prayer.

• Dr. Wayne Schmidt continues to encourage pastors to equip and champion the work of marketplace multipliers within their churches through conferences, work groups, and other strategic approaches that best fit the local context of each church.

PODCAST

Hosted by Strategy Team member Earl McJett, the GodWorx podcast remains a source of insight and inspiration through conversations with pastors, as well as church, business, and academia leaders. Engaging guests with varied backgrounds and professional experiences allows us to leverage others’ influence in their marketplace as they share their journeys of faith integration, making disciples, and unleashing God’s kingdom. The 10-20 minute episodes are available on the GodWorx website and all major podcast platforms.

MISION MULTIPLICACIÓN

“Mision Multiplicacion”, the movement of Hispanic marketplace multipliers continues to thrive and expand under the direction and leadership of Strategy Team member, Arlynn Ellis. She leads four teams of pastors and lay leaders from Hispanic Wesleyan Churches across the U.S. that focus on  marketing, discipleship, chapter development and grant funding, as they work to encourage marketplace multipliers and empower pastors in their various congregations.

Developed by Strategy Team member Jeff Clark, “Praying on Offense,” is as easy as 1, 3, 2! When you pray on offense, you commit to:

• Take spiritual ownership of 1 space God has already placed you in,

• Embrace a deep sense of calling to 3 people already in that place, and

• Ask God 2 questions:
  – What do you want me to know (about my 3 people that can be helpful in pointing them to you)?
  – What do you want me to do (with the information I now have)?

The PROOF app is helping people naturally infuse spiritual influence and prayer in places beyond church walls. And by scanning the QR code included here, you can download the latest version of the app whose entire focus is a simple prayer flow that helps you turn prayer into action! This new version includes helpful listening prompts and optional Acts of Fearless Humility to make it easier to engage and follow through. In the coming months, additional infrastructure will be added to:

• Launch and lead prayer movements

• Build social connections and Pray on Offense with your friends

• Provide key tools to help support you as you Pray on Offense

EXCITING UPCOMING EVENTS

GodWorx is excited to partner with PROOF at The Wesleyan Church’s 15^th Quadrennial General Conference in Marion, IN, May 17-20, 2026. We will have a shared presence in the exhibitor area, and will provide a Sunday afternoon breakout session where attendees will be inspired, encouraged, and equipped both in their own experience as marketplace multipliers, and as they encourage others in their home congregations.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR GODWORX?

We have much to look forward to as the GodWorx ministry continues to gain momentum in unleashing God’s kingdom through pastor and laity partnerships.

Our team is thinking and planning strategically, focusing on:

1. Sustainability and Expansion – Continued strategic direction to drive future sustainability, including but not limited to exploring cohort development and other means that drive continued momentum and influence.

2. Efficacy Measurement – Development of Key Performance Indicators that align with the GodWorx Strategy, as well as formalized operational and reporting processes with Mobilize The Church.

3. Advancing the Kingdom Force – The equipping and encouraging of marketplace multipliers to execute the Great Commission through prayer and the sharing of their stories. Modeling the disciple-making process through ongoing conversations with marketplace multipliers and connection to supportive resources.
