Church Planting Movements by V. David Garrison Pdf

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.

Church Planting Movements - India by Frederick Osborn Pdf

In the year, 1999, David Garrison, the Associate Vice President, Strategy Coordination and Mobilization, for the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention completed an assignment to profile the growing number of Church Planting Movements that were appearing in their work around the world. The final result of this assignment was published by the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) in a small pamphlet of 60 pages, appropriately titled, Church Planting Movements. Although many people in India were involved in missions work long before this report was written and there are many missionaries still working in India today, the major emphasis of their work so far has been making new converts, social works, and building church buildings. There are a number of reasons why missionaries have not been successful in initiating true Church Planting Movements (CPMs), which will be examined in detail in this book, but the primary reasons are because traditional methods of planting churches involve enormous costs in purchasing land and building church buildings, and there remains a shortage of seminary-trained ministry leaders who have studied and understood what a CPM is all about. However if they were encouraged, equipped, and educated, there are enough indigenous workers ready, willing, and able to evangelize the lost and start Church Planting Movements across India. Today there is an increased desire among village pastors to plant new churches, but they are often delayed because of the tremendous burden and crippling financial drain involved in obtaining land and building church buildings. Following the traditional model it would not take long before all of the efforts of church planters would be poured into fundraising for building churches. However, after reading David Garrison's report, one will realize two things: first is how important it is to place more emphasis on biblical church planting strategies among the marginalized communities; and second is how important it is to understand from the book of Acts what are the qualities and characteristics of a genuine Church Planting Movement.

Marks of a Movement by Winfield Bevins Pdf

Marks of a Movement calls us back to the disciple-making mandate of the church through the timeless wisdom of John Wesley and the Methodist movement. With a love for history and a passion for today’s church, Winfield helps us reimagine church multiplication in a way that focuses on making and multiplying disciples for the twenty-first century. Winfield Bevins reminds us of the vital multiplication lessons from the Wesleyan movement, one of the greatest missional movements the world has ever known. He highlights the necessity of discipleship as the starting point and the abiding strategic practice that is key to all lasting missional impact in and through movements. The Methodist movement is an example of the power of multiplying movements that utilize the strategy of discipleship. Within a generation, one in thirty people who were living in Britain had become Methodists, and the movement soon became a worldwide phenomenon. We in the Western Church need a movement of historic proportions once again. What would such a multiplication movement look like for us today? We must look to the past to gain wisdom for the future. And as we look at the pages of church history, there is no better example of a multiplication movement in the West than the Methodist movement of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Marks of a Movement highlights the lessons and key insights that enable us to learn from the past and reapply this timeless, biblical wisdom for today.
