Church Planting

In the challenge of this new Apostolic Age, this book, Starting Reproducing Congregations, Second Edition presents an expanded and updated discussion of biblically sound principles, logically developed procedures, culturally appropriate means, and innovative, practical methodologies that can enable church starters to design effective strategies to start and multiply congregations in the USA and around the world.

The explosive growth and rapid expansion of the Hispanic
population is transforming the social, economic, and religious panorama
of America. Hispanic Americans are now the largest minority group in
America and are projected to comprise one fourth of the American
population by the year 2050. According to a the latest Census Bureau
report, “the U.S. Hispanic population passed the 42 million mark and
accounted for half of the growth of the US population since 2000,
indicating that the nation’s largest minority group is increasing its
presence even faster than in the previous decade.”
This book analyzes these realities and explores their implications for
leading Hispanics to a personal experience of salvation in Jesus Christ,
establishing biblically sound, culturally relevant, reproducing congregations
among them, enabling these congregations to
experience healthy growth and meaningful ministry
in their communities, and encouraging them to
participate in the implementation of the Great
Commission by sending Hispanic missionaries to
highly strategic parts of the world.

Bible Storying for Church Planting by three authors who have long experience in both Bible Storying and church starting is a guide for using the methods of Bible Storying the exciting effort to start new congregations. Dr. Daniel R. Sanchez, J. O. Terry, and Lanette W. Thompson join to provide this most practical information concerning both subjects--Bible Storying and Church Planting. All engaged in using Bible Storying need to heed the material in these pages.

For years we've heard rumors of movements to Christ from inside Cuba. Now, for the first time, Kurt Urbanek has drawn back the curtain and shown us, in remarkable detail, just what God has been doing. You'll be inspired by the passion and sacrifice of these disciples of Christ and how they have emerged from years of op-position to spread the gospel, and thousands of new churches, throughout this island nation.

Simple churches (house churches, cell churches, or basic churches) are not the only ways to spread the gospel and reach people. They are, however, one important way. This book does not contend that basic churches are the only way to do church in the 21st century. It does contend they are one way. Basic churches are real churches.

This Workbook contains activities and guides to help church starters and church-starting teams actually prepare a strategy for planting a new congregation. The authors created the workbook to guide in the use of the standard textbook, Starting New Congregations.

O século XXI está destinado a causar o maior impacto na implantação de Igrejas na história do cristianismo. Isto se deve principalmente a dois fatores: um sentido profundo de fome espiritual no mundo todo e um compromisso sem precedentes com a disseminação de igrejas.

Enquanto alguns livros focalizam principalmente os princípios e outros os métodos, a intenção dos autores deste livro é oferecer ao semeador de igrejas princípios, processos e metodologias práticas para uma semeadura de igrejas contextualizada ao século XXI

Church: Growth and Culture.

The title of this book Church: Growth and Culture reflects the influence of the two modern ecclesiastical movements to which we have referred. The purpose of this book is to examine biblical principles on which church growth is based, and to analyze factors that will help national leaders, pastors, and laity to contextualize their methodology so that the ministry of their churches has true relevance in their socio-cultural context.

A manual that helps people to use the concepts of the book to design a contextualized church planting strategy.
