Plant 616 Forum November 2025

Plant 616 exists to connect, equip, and catalyze for the mission of the church in the 616.

Join the conversation at the Plant 616 Forum! Every second Wednesday we set the table for encouragement, learning, and inspiration. If you long to see the Gospel spread, the church of the 616 re-energized, and the city-wide church to link arms for our common mission, then we would love to have you join us to eat, pray, learn, and dream together. Our gatherings are filled with a diverse group of pastors, everyday disciples, marketplace leaders, and non-profit leaders. You are invited!

This month, we are hitting the road for a special Field Trip Forum!

We are thrilled to announce that the November 12th Forum will be held at the Our Daily Bread Ministries Headquarters.

We are diving into the critical topic of Mentoring the Next Generation by leveraging cutting-edge research.

Reclaim Today, a division of Our Daily Bread Ministries, exists to help young adults read and understand the Bible so they can hear from, know, and follow God in their everyday lives. As pastors and urban leaders, you know that discipling Gen Z and Millennials begins with understanding the key needs of this age group, as well as a commitment to mobilize them for Kingdom mission.

The Wellbeing Report Reclaim Today conducted The Wellbeing Report in 2023—a national study on the holistic wellbeing of 18-36 year olds across the USA. In partnership with the Center for Bible Engagement and Dr. Todd Hall, this report looks at eight crucial factors for wellbeing: social, emotional, technological, vocational, financial, educational, spiritual, and physical. Daniel Ryan Day and Luke Jones will present key findings from this report, as well as offer practical next steps on mentoring the next generation.

• Daniel Ryan Day Daniel serves Our Daily Bread Ministries as the Senior Director of Reclaim Today and New Audience Engagement and as a cohost on the nationally syndicated radio show Discover the Word. He holds a Master’s degree in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary and is an author and speaker. Daniel and his wife Rebecca live in Michigan and have three children.
• Luke Jones Luke oversees the partnership initiatives of Reclaim Today. With a BA in Business Marketing, an Advanced Diploma in Ministry Leadership, and a Certificate of Spiritual Formation from Dallas Willard Ministries, alongside over a decade spent in congregational ministry settings, he has a wide range of ministry experiences and a rounded approach to Christian formation and discipleship. Luke is passionate about equipping leaders of this next generation with research insights and practical steps for spiritual development.

Location: Our Daily Bread Ministries Headquarters (3000 Kraft Ave SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49512) Date: Tuesday, November 12th Time: 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM (Lunch is included.)
