counter-intuition
With thanks to New Generations International.

The revolutionary impact of Church Planting Movements can be traced to the counter-intuitive nature of the characteristics that make up these movements.

Counter-Intuitive Characteristics of Church Planting Movements:

• Spend a long time preparing to multiply rapidly

• Don’t teach the Bible…teach every new Christ-Follower how to discover God’s truth and obey what they learn

• Expect miracles to accelerate the church planting process

• Stay only where a “person of peace” (Lk. 10) is ready to hear and obey

• Disciple people to conversion…not vice versa

• Focus only on the few who can be leaders now, so many will hear later

• Expect the hardest people and places to yield the greatest results

• Focus on discipling ordinary people, not developing professional Christians

• Always enter as a servant, never a master

• A novice insider will produce more fruit than a highly trained
