Laura is talking about church planting
What are we doing when we get to each of these countries?
Read the Definition in Missions
The movement must “plant” (start) churches because the process of forming Godly
disciples
is necessarily social. “Church” should be understood in the widest sense, as an organization of believers. It is not a building. Many churches start by meeting in houses. Discipling is required to grow the number of believers to the largest extent, and maximize their quality and therefore the acceptability of their worship to God and non-Christians.

Discipling is required to grow the number of believers to the largest extent, and maximize their quality and therefore the acceptability of their worship to God and non-Christians.
“Viable” means that it is self-governing, self-supporting and self-propagating. This is the famous “three-self” formula invented by
Henry Venn
of the London
Church Missionary Society
in the
19th century
.
“Indigenous” means that fully native members of the culture have all the needed abilities and accept all the required duties. Only indigenes can fully adapt the
Gospel
to their culture, maximizing both natural, high-quality
worship
and the number of people that can be reached in that culture.
You have shown up in a place and you have a local contact and he wants a church how would you help plant a church?
Meeting felt needs and Planting a church
Dan-Help get a church started to meet the felt needs
Kelly-The church should be built around meeting the needs of the people
Becky-self, action, others, community.
Laura-PRAY FIRST
Through a means you have an opportunity to meet people and allow the Lord to move. Your goal is to say we did exactly what the Lord asked not how many church etc.
Developing relationships, growing churches in meeting together, the word and worship teaching them the basics of Christianity. Empowering and equipping them. Discipling them and in turn they grab hold of the great commission and reaching out to others. Connect them with local contacts. If there isn’t one maybe its you. Ask the Lord always ASK the Lord.
Gary- we have been involved in leadership ministry. As teams we are micro churches we are modeling what church looks like in a micro church. Wherever we are we are modeling what it looks like. People want to see what Christians look like 24/7 so they can bring it back to their communities. Read this book
Revolution by Barna
Invite people to come into this community that is being modeled.
