This week we listen to a talk I gave at our Asia Hub. I talk about movements lessons learnt from 3 seasons of life.
India – where we encountered people from the harvest coming to Christ and multiplying fast! We learnt that
- The gospel in good soil multiplies
- (Parable of the Sower)
- Instantaneous multiplication (It’s fast!)
- It’s God’s work not ours
- Power encounter, prayer and the work of the Holy Spirit
- Key inside leaders (POP) are the best!
Season 2 we were church planting in Australia. We learnt that
- The traditional church is a barrier for most non-christians in Australia
- People have to navigate church tradition and culture to find Jesus.
- Church is not ‘stage, singing and sermons’
- Church within movements are formed around households (oikos) and people that belong together (affinity)
- Discipleship is the core. Discipleship is evangelism
- The gospels leaves us with one conclusion. Jesus made disciples in the harvest that multiplied
- If you make disciples you always get church, if you plant churches you won’t always get disciples
- Don’t start with Church. Start with making disciples
- The book of ACTS is the fruit of Jesus ministry
In season 3 we focussed on Movement, DMM taking place here in Australia and the nations. some lessons we have learnt are
- DBS and discovery methodology
- Clear Methods accelerate Movement
- Developing a clear strategy of
- Pray – Go – Disciple – Multiply
- Being driven by Core Values (Word, Spirit, Mission)
- The value of multiplying leaders and teams
- The importance of catalysing inside leaders,
- Training coaching and mentoring
- A saturation vision is the end goal
