116. Raising teams across the land, Part 1

Join us as we continue this series of episodes from our Launch event in Melbourne. Hear Roger, Praxeis New Zealand leader in this first of two podcasts sharing his thoughts on building teams in the West. 

Building teams is crucial. If we cannot build teams, we won’t see movement. Roger will reflect over these next two podcasts about the positive experiences he has had as well as the disappointments that he has faced. 

Many years ago a multiplying movement happened amongst the Maori people. It is conservatively estimated that over 50% of the Maori population became followers of Jesus. But today NZ has a similar bleak picture to Australia with steep declines in the number of people identifying as Christians. 

“Kiwis still crave spirituality but not from organised religion. They have swapped church for the yoga mat.”

Roger will share and discuss some of the big questions that we have to wrestle with as we make disciples that multiply. “How did the Father send Jesus? So how does He send us? (John 21)”, “How do we raise teams across the land?.

Finally, Roger will reflect on some of the lessons that he has learnt about building multiplying, catalysing teams of disciples including:

  • Often see early breakthrough, but this early fruit does not necessarily multiply
  • Look to the relational streams & connections to build teams
  • Go slow to go fast
