How Christianity Is Growing by disciple making movements starting churches that do church planting among the least of these in unreached people groups.
Key steps
These Steps suggest Ways You Can Participate in How Christianity Is Growing with God Bringing Heaven to Earth.
1. How people cross five thresholds to become saved as a Christian.
2. How a Christian receives the Holy Spirit and becomes a Disciple.
3. How Disciples share their faith and make disciples in Disciple Making Movements (DMMs).
4. How DMMs create Churches. (Many are house churches.)
5. How Churches plant churches.
6. How Churches, DMMs and Access Ministries take the Gospel and help meet the needs of “the least of these” in Unreached People Groups (UPGs). Some target “5,082 UPGs where fewer than 1 in 1,000 individuals follow Christ.”
7. How the “the least of these” become Jesus-followers. How small Catalyst teams follow Two Dozen Factors to Grow Christianity Rapidly in a Region in Africa. This Living Fire book describes how people find God’s will for their lives doing Discovery Bible Study with SAMPLE DISCOVERY LESSONS in Appendix C. “Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness” (John 8:12 NIV).
How the cycle repeats and multiplies
Each step is a foundation for steps that follow, making a vast network of opportunities for church-based mission and ministry. They unite all of us globally as One, as Jesus prayed. Unity works. At each step people share their faith with others to do the same and perhaps take the next step themselves. Perhaps exploring these steps could help you choose or direct your mission in life and goals. Follow the links to more pages that describe where these exciting Steps are advancing in God’s vast network.
Prayer is a required foundation for each step
Prayer at each Step ensures that God guides the way. This avoids mission drift, and helps achieve Jesus’ Great Commission to reach people groups to the ends of the earth. Prayer and testimony have led to Revivals in every century for 2,000 years.
How Prayer Groups and Topics thrive. They expand and go outside church walls at Regional Prayer and Worship Gatherings. The Gatherings give rise to Revivals which can occur anywhere, anytime.
Church Prayer Groups in Connecticut have dozens (!!!) of suggestions for prayer topics that are needed.
Global Prayer, Worship, Repentance and Evangelistic Movements gather people virtually across the world. Polycentric Christianity is from everyone to everywhere.
