Book excerpt: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." -- Matthew 28:19 - 20 That's what it means to be missional- to be about the mission of Jesus, which is making disciples. As we make disciples, those disciples naturally form communities, and we call those communities churches. As the gospel spread throughout the region, churches sprang up in other areas, multiplying as more disciples were made. If starting and sustaining a multiplying movement of disciples and churches- under the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit- is your calling, this implementation guide was designed with you in mind. Here we build on The Missional Journey book, allowing you to take the concepts further as you build your system using the basic framework laid out in the book: get ready, get going, stay with it, keep growing. However, it's not strictly linear: you can pick and choose your issues, prioritizing what you need in order to gain momentum. You can work through this guide with a cohort of influencers and practitioners. We provide descriptions of each of the key areas needed to start and sustain a multiplying movement- along with reflection questions that help you determine your actions steps.

Book Synopsis Missional Renaissance by : Reggie McNeal
Download or read book Missional Renaissance written by Reggie McNeal and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-02-03 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reggie McNeal's bestseller The Present Future is the definitive work on the "missional movement," i.e., the widespread movement among Protestant churches to be less inwardly focused and more oriented toward the culture and community around them. In that book he asked the tough questions that churches needed to entertain to begin to think about who they are and what they are doing; in Missional Renaissance, he shows them the three significant shifts in their thinking and behavior that they need to make that will allow leaders to chart a course toward being missional: (1) from an internal to an external focus, ending the church as exclusive social club model; (2) from running programs and ministries to developing people as its core activity; and (3) from professional leadership to leadership that is shared by everyone in the community. With in-depth discussions of the "what" and the "how" of transitioning to being a missional church, readers will be equipped to move into what McNeal sees as the most viable future for Christianity. For all those thousands of churches who are asking about what to do next after reading The Present Future, Missional Renaissance will provide the answer.
Book Synopsis Church Planting Movements by : V. David Garrison
Download or read book Church Planting Movements written by V. David Garrison and published by WIGTake Resources. This book was released on 2007 with total page 374 pages. 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.

Download or read book Missional Moves written by Rob Wegner and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2012-09-25 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From saved souls to saved wholes, from transactional to transformational, this book describes fifteen paradigm shifts in how gospel-driven Christian leaders are thinking about churches and ministry in today's world. The church was never designed to be a fortress for the righteous, but a flood of revolutionaries, bringing the Good News of the Kingdom to broken lives and broken communities in a broken world. Today, millions of Christians are awakening to the holism, or wholeness, of the gospel call, expanding their understanding of church from an institution to a movement. Recognizing the Church's past missteps and re-envisioning its role in modern society, Missional Moves, will fundamentally alter your understanding of the church and how its mission is lived out. Rob Wegner and Jack Magruder are church founders and Christian thought-leaders who will walk you through three distinct categories of changes that today’s churches have to understand in order to have the greatest, positive impact: The paradigm shift of our missional imagination. The centralized shift of our local church mission field. The decentralized shift of the global family of Christ. If this calling toward movement and transformation is to be realized, it will require some earth-shaking shifts in our concept of the evangelistic mission: "Missional Moves." This book provides a plan of action for your church that will empower you to unleash each member on a mission, both locally and globally.

Download or read book Narratives Church written by and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research project focused on the development of a unified theological vision for the missional movement with specific attention given to the United States. The researcher conducted a thorough investigation of Scripture and current biblical material in order to discern the barriers existing within the missional movement. The researcher looked at key areas that shape the missional church planting movement: leadership development, theological interpretation of the early church, church planting methods and practice, ecclesiology, and the application and interpretation of Ephesians 4:11. Four church planting organizations participated: North American Mission Board (NAMB), Acts 29 Network, Association of Related Churches (ARC), and Converge Worldwide. The researcher developed a questionnaire of eight questions. Each leader from the four movements was asked the same eight questions. The questionnaire revealed that there is indeed a disconnect from one movement to the next in terms of areas mentioned above. For example, all four interviewees offered little knowledge or discussion of the Ephesians 4:11 passage nor the Acts 2:42-47 passage. The data also revealed that leadership development was focused more on curriculum outcomes as opposed to relational health; yet each interviewee mentioned the importance of raising healthy leaders. As a result of the findings from this project, the researcher offered four recommendations for creating a unified theological vison for the missional church movement. Recommendation 1: that missional church planters should be fully engaged in the life of the community. Recommendation 2: that church planters focus more on the Kingdom of God than on issues of individual churches. Recommendation 3: that missional church planting movements develop a theological interpretation for key missional verses such as Acts 2:42-47 for an organic relational approach for a missional ecclesiology. Recommendation 4: that missional church planting movements move toward a theological understanding on cultivating an apostolic ethos from Ephesians 4:11.
