Kingdom Advancers
The operating system of a movement — free, and built for the people doing the work.
Advance OS is a free mobile app for Christians who are building the Kingdom of God where they actually live. It carries the whole of the work — walking a community in prayer, starting the first Kingdom Group in it, multiplying that group, and gathering everyone in that place until the community itself is changed.
It is published by Kingdom Advancers, a registered non-profit company in South Africa.
The movement's footprint runs throughout South Africa. More than 5,000 South African Kingdom Communities are already gathered — on Facebook, where this work began — many of them numbering in the hundreds or thousands of people, and many of them in the townships of Gauteng. The register inside the app holds 2,060 communities — the suburbs, townships and towns people actually live in — and the app is used today across South Africa, Malawi, India, Uganda and Botswana.
A register of 1,694 real communities — the suburbs, townships and towns people actually live in, not the ones they type. Each one shows where it stands: how many prayer walks have been prayed there, how many Kingdom Groups have been planted, how many people are gathered, and how many are not gathered yet.
A walk is recorded as it is prayed — the roads covered, the ground taken — and it is added to the community it was prayed in. A community's history of prayer belongs to that community, not to one phone.
A Kingdom Group is a handful of people. The point is never the one group; it is the second, and the group the second one plants. Multiply draws that lineage so a person can see what has actually come from their own obedience.
Messaging built for a movement rather than for an audience — one-to-one, groups, voice notes, calls, and channels for when one voice must reach thousands without ten thousand people replying to each other.
Advance OS is in testing on both stores while we prepare the public release. It is free, there is nothing to buy inside it, and there is no advertising.
Advance OS is the instrument, not the work. Kingdom Advancers exists for the transformation of communities — a place is reached when the place itself changes, not when a meeting is full. That is slow, local work, done by people who live there.
What we are building toward. Two programmes are planned and not yet running, and we would rather name them as plans than imply they are already under way:
Young people are the largest part of these communities and the part most often written off. The programme is being designed to bring them in and give them somewhere to grow.
Skills, tools and opportunity put into the hands of people who have been kept from all three.
The app costs nothing to use and nothing is sold inside it. Kingdom Advancers is a non-profit company, and the work is carried by people who give toward it. That is the whole funding model, stated plainly, because a free app with an unexplained income is a question mark and we would rather answer it here.
Giving says exactly what your giving funds, how a monthly gift is stopped, and how a refund is handled — before you give anything.
