The National Church Planting Network - latest news!

Alex Harris, YBA Regional Minister with responsibilities for pioneering ministry and church planting, led sessions at a recent event of almost 60 church planting leaders from more than 25 different denominations, streams, networks and groups. He has shared the following three areas agreed upon:

• First, identifying, mentoring and developing outstanding network leaders who champion church planting and can lead multiplication growth was seen as a vital need generally not being met in our present models.

• Second, collaborative research and information sharing was identified as an opportunity with many different groups having good research and information but so far with limited attempts to consolidate that.

• Third, the potential of naming and pursuing a united overarching vision to make disciples from all people, in all places, by all means - even amidst the diversity both across and perhaps especially within our streams – as crucial if we are to see beyond our internal anxiety and instead fully serve the communities in front of us for Jesus.
