6 – Asia Hub talk. Dave

This week we listen to a talk I gave at our Asia Hub. I talk about movements lessons learnt from 3 seasons of life. India – where we encountered people from the harvest coming to Christ and multiplying fast! We learnt that The gospel in good soil multiplies  (Parable of the Sower) Instantaneous multiplication (It’s fast!) It’s God’s work not ours Power encounter, prayer and the work of the Holy Spirit Key inside leaders (POP) are the best!  Season 2 we were church planting in Australia. We learnt that The traditional church is a barrier for most non-christians in Australia People have to navigate church tradition and culture to find Jesus.  Church is not ‘stage, singing and sermons’ Church within movements are formed around households (oikos) and people that belong together (affinity) Discipleship is the core. Discipleship is evangelism The gospels leaves us with one conclusion. Jesus made disciples in the harvest that multiplied  If you make disciples you always get church, if you plant churches you won’t always get disciples Don’t start with Church. Start with making disciples The book of ACTS is the fruit of Jesus ministry  In season 3 we focussed on Movement, DMM taking place here in Australia and the nations. some lessons we have learnt are DBS and discovery methodology Clear Methods accelerate Movement Developing a clear strategy of Pray – Go – Disciple – Multiply Being driven by Core Values (Word, Spirit, Mission) The value of multiplying leaders and teams The importance of catalysing inside leaders,  Training coaching and mentoring A saturation vision is the end goal
