Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Garrison, PhD University of Chicago, defines Church Planting Movements as rapidly multiplying indigenous churches planting churches that sweep across a people group or population segment. Garrison's Church Planting Movements: How God Is Redeeming a Lost World signaled a breakthrough in missionary church planting. After the publication of Garrison's book in 2004 it became impossible to talk about missions without referencing Church Planting Movements. Church Planting Movements examines more than two-dozen movements of multiplying churches on five continents. After presenting these case studies, Garrison identifies ten universal elements present in each movement. He then broadens the circle of examination to identify a further ten common characteristics, factors identified in most, but not all, of the movements. He concludes his examination with a list of "Seven Deadly Sins," i.e. harmful practices that stifle or impede Church Planting Movements. Important for evangelical readers, the author returns to his findings to see how they stand up to the light of Scripture. What he discovers is that Church Planting Movements are much more consistent with the New Testament lay-led house-church movements that swept rapidly through the Mediterranean world in the face of hostile opposition than today's more sedentary professional institutionalized Christianity.

Advocating methods that lead to church multiplication, the authors emphasize the role of the missionary church planter.

Download or read book The Spontaneous Expansion of the Church written by Roland Allen and published by Lutterworth Press. This book was released on 2006-08-24 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If it were once believed that the freedom of churches should be restricted to bring greater control to missions, Roland Allen sets out to overturn this conception. Warning against the danger of imposing greater limits on churches, the Author advocates that all members of the church, 'natives' and foreigners alike, must take an active role in its establishment and daily life. The study divides itself into nine chapters; the first, introducing Allen's standpoint, the second as an opening into thenature and character of Spontaneous Expression. The third chapter deals with modern attempts by 'natives' towards the liberty of their churches. The fear of the doctrine becoming weakened by natives taking it into their own hands is addressed by chapter four and this fear is widened into the realm of the Christian standard of morals in chapter five. Civilisation and enlightenment form the central themes of the sixth chapter. Chapters seven and eight tackle the distinction between the Church andmissionary societies. It is in the final chapter that the future of Spontaneous Expansion is investigated and Allen puts forward his ideas which, as he rightly predicted, were broadly accepted fifty years and longer still after their original publication."
Download or read book Indigenous Churches written by Bob C Green and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-18 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book "Indigenous Churches" by Dr. Bob Green is written from the perspective of a missionary church planter. Having planted churches in the USA and Latin America, Dr. Green writes from 48 years of experience. He seeks to provide the church planter with answers to questions concerning "How To start and Establish an Autonomous (Indigenous) Church." There is information that deals with the primary considerations of "who, where, what and what not." This book contains details concerning the Biblical principles and the pattern for church planting followed by the Apostles. Church planters should be sent from a local church to a local church. Churches should be planting churches. There are sample documents such as Statements of Faith, Constitutions and By-laws. The writer has made every effort to provide a manual for beginning and establishing new Indigenous (self-governing, self-supporting and self-propagating) New Testament Baptist Churches.
Download or read book Planting an Indigenous Church written by Jin Huat Tan and published by Wipf and Stock. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description: The story of the BEM and the SIB highlights the importance of intentional mission policy and its sustained implementation for the development of an indigenous church. Having a clearly defined exit policy provided the necessary impetus for the BEM to plant a church, which was able to stand on its own feet. There have been a number of contextual factors, such as the administrative policies of the Brooke government and the changing political situations in Sarawak and Malaysia that have threatened to limit the growth of BEM and SIB. However, the abilities of indigenous leaders in taking ownership of the SIB, have enabled them to negotiate these challenges in such a manner that has made it the most significant indigenous church in Malaysia. Endorsements: This publication is an event to be warmly welcomed. In important respects this work breaks new ground. Southeast Asia is still underrepresented in the scholarly literature on the history of indigenous appropriation of Christian missionary traditions--at least so far as Anglophone scholarship is concerned. Tan Jin Huat's research into the origins of the SIB illuminates the ways in which village peoples who adhered to a spirit-based cosmology reframed a conservative evangelical presentation of the gospel as a message about the superior power of Christ over the spirits. From the Foreword by Brian Stanley, Professor of World Christianity, University of Edinburgh An amazing story of revival, renewal, and transformation of the entire region chronicling the powerful effect of it evident to date! What can we learn from this extensive and careful study of the Borneo Revival, so that global Christianity will become ever more dynamic. Tan certainly has his suggestions. Wonsuk Ma, Oxford Ccntre for Mission Studies, UK A model of respectful, humble, thoughtful, and analytical scholarship and a story worth telling. Dr Tan Jin Huat has written a pioneering study of the origins and development of Malaysia's most significant indigenous church. This is a rich and vital source for grounding the identity of the Sidang Injil Borneo in an informed understanding of its own history. Seldom do churches early in their lives have an account of their origins where respect for those involved in its formation is matched by a willingness to note the human side of all the work they seek to do for God. John Roxborogh, Mission Historian, Dunedin, New Zealand. About the Contributor(s): Jin Huat Tan has served as a theological lecturer for many years in two theological seminaries in Malaysia. He is the Dean of Studies at Seminari Theoloji Malaysia (Malaysia Theological Seminary), Seremban, Malaysia. As an Anglican minister, he was involved in planting an Anglican church in Kuala Lumpur, and has served as pastor in a few Anglican churches. His interest in history from his primary schooldays has finally led him to fulfill his childhood dream to write a book on history. His other passion is expository preaching.

This book was released on 2014-12-14 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insights from the Lives of Olive Doke and Paul Kasonga for Pioneer Mission and Church Planting Today deals with the question of the hand over process of pioneer missionaries to the first indigenous leaders in church planting missions situations. It recognises the fact this process when wrongly handled has caused a lot of harm to the work of missions. The case study in this thesis, which took place at the start of Baptist work in Zambia, shows one example in which it was done exceptionally well. The researcher also uses biblical interpretation and qualitative empirical analysis to augment his research. He finally posits that the mutual respect and mutual admiration between Olive Doke and Paul Kasonga is what led to this admirable result.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At this critical point in the history of World Missions, it is imperative for us to take a step back from “business as usual” in our work around the globe and reevaluate the strategies and methods we are implementing. What is working? What isn’t? If we’re honest, there may be more not working than we would care to admit. In this book, written in the early 1900s, Roland Allen invites us to look at the missionary work of the Apostle Paul with fresh eyes and an igniting perspective that is strikingly relevant to the greatest challenges we are facing today in modern missions. He offers a well of insight from the methodology of Paul that will focus and unite us as we draw nearer than ever before to our goal of fulfilling the Great Commission and reaching the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
