Church Planting Strategies


Book Description

This book explains who is qualified to plant churches and how to go about the work of church planting. The author highlights that a church planter who is a lover of the world has no message to preach because the love of the Father is not in Him. The man with a corrupt conscience will plant a church laden with people of corrupt conscience. The man who is desperate to know God will produce spiritual children who are desperate to know God. A leader who will plant churches must be one who is separated from the common. It is by ruthless paying of the price through prayer, fasting, giving to God and so on that one can penetrate and establish new domains in the enemy’s realm. He that will truly serve the Lord in soul-winning and church planting needs to see, for where there is vision, there will be a burden. Burden leads to action. Do you want to become a church planter?
