The Biography of Kip McKean - Part 1 B

Of note in 1979, Kip and Elena were invited to lead the Lexington Church of Christ (later renamed the Boston Church of Christ). From these “30 would-be-disciples,” the Spirit ignited a movement of churches known as the Boston Movement and in 1994 renamed the International Churches of Christ. From a historical perspective, no other preacher in the past century has been directly responsible for the planting of so many congregations around the world. Kip’s tenacious embrace of Jesus’ radical dream “to evangelize the nations in a generation,” his bold theological reforms, his personal warmth coupled with his charismatic and uncompromising Bible preaching, allowed the Spirit to take the gospel from one small dying church in Boston to become almost 400 churches in 171 of the 196 nations of the world by the year 2000! Then as this noble effort was being tragically decimated in 2002 and 2003, God sent Kip on a rocky path of suffering and redemption. For almost two years, he wandered in a lonely, spiritual wilderness, which greatly humbled him. Yet, those dark days ultimately strengthened Kip’s resolve to fulfill the dream. Therefore in late 2011, it is so amazing that in a little more than five years, God’s new SoldOut Movement - has 39 congregations in 20 nations… and counting!
