Planting Churches Cross-Culturally,

Description:

This practical and biblical volume offers serious students and practitioners of mission a step-by-step approach to developing a master plan for entering a new community with a church planting program. Each aspect of the master plan is developed theologically, scientifically, and practically. Cultural differences are analyzed, and missionaries are guided in how to transcend their own cultural background. In biblical terms, the Christian mission is explained in a way that places evangelism and church planting and growth at the heart. Responsibilities of church leaders are clarified -- how to devise strategies and deploy resources to enter new areas, convert people, and organize churches. The framework for these church planting activities is the Pauline Cycle. - Back cover.
