The **G12 Vision** is a [Christian](/source/Christianity) [evangelism](/source/Evangelism) and [discipleship](/source/Discipleship) strategy established by [César Castellanos](/source/C%C3%A9sar_Castellanos_(pastor)), the founder of [International Charismatic Mission Church](/source/International_Charismatic_Mission_Church). G12 has been adopted worldwide by different churches.

## History

The G12 Vision was formulated in 1991 by [César Castellanos](/source/C%C3%A9sar_Castellanos_(pastor)), after attending the [Yoido Full Gospel Church](/source/Yoido_Full_Gospel_Church) in 1983. Seeing that their [cell group](/source/Cell_group) model fosters church growth, he revamped [David Yonggi Cho](/source/David_Yonggi_Cho)'s South Korean [church growth](/source/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)](/source/Church_of_God_(Cleveland,_Tennessee)).

The G12 model has been prominently adopted by churches in many countries including [Canada](/source/Canada), [Hong Kong](/source/Hong_Kong), the [Philippines](/source/Philippines), [Singapore](/source/Singapore), [South Korea](/source/South_Korea), the [United Kingdom](/source/United_Kingdom),((South Africa)) and the [United States](/source/United_States).[1][2]
