{{Short description|Christian evangelism strategy}}
The '''G12 Vision''' is a [[Christianity|Christian]] [[evangelism]] and [[discipleship]] strategy established by [[César Castellanos (pastor)|César Castellanos]], the founder of [[International Charismatic Mission Church]]. G12 has been adopted worldwide by different churches.

==History==

The G12 Vision was formulated in 1991 by [[César Castellanos (pastor)|César Castellanos]], after attending the [[Yoido Full Gospel Church]] in 1983. Seeing that their [[cell group]] model fosters church growth, he revamped [[David Yonggi Cho]]'s South Korean [[Church Growth|church growth]] strategy. It grew into another church growth enterprise that churches around the world came to study in their own attempts to foster growth, including mainline Pentecostal denominations like the [[Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee)|Church of God (Cleveland)]].

The G12 model has been prominently adopted by churches in many countries including [[Canada]], [[Hong Kong]], the [[Philippines]], [[Singapore]], [[South Korea]], the [[United Kingdom]] and the [[United States]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/World/Story/STIStory_554641.html |title=Megachurch: Columbia |website=www.straitstimes.com |access-date=12 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100720202418/http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/World/Story/STIStory_554641.html |archive-date=20 July 2010 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.charismamag.com/~charisma/site-archives/134-peopleevents/people-events/1007-church-growth-strategy-goes-global|title = Charisma Magazine}}</ref>
