How do you plant strong churches all over the world? What is your church planting strategy? What is the process? What are the steps?

I am often asked these and other questions about church planting. Here’s the simple answer—that has taken years to develop. We call it the ABCs of church planting.

1. Assessment Center. Three days of evaluation to determine if you are the right person to lead a church plant team.

2. Boot Camp. Five to ten days of intensive training focusing on the pre-launch and launch stages of the new church.

3. Coaching & Consulting Network. A coaching network to help in the first year of the new church and professional consulting to get a church unstuck anytime after the launch.

ACCIDENTAL MISSIONARY UPDATE:
– Preached six times since arriving in Melbourne two days ago—twice Saturday @ CityLife Church, three times Sunday AM @ CityLife, and once Sunday PM @ Every Nation Melbourne. 

– As always everywhere in the world, I met Victory people every time I preached. Victory people are everywhere.

– Met with some Melbourne mega-church pastors today, then spent the afternoon with Kevin Conner. I hope I’m as mentally sharp and physically energetic at 50 (soon) as Kevin is at 82.

– Will spend the whole day tomorrow talking with CityLife leadership team about multi-site church planting and discipleship.
