Guy Muse, a Southern Baptist missionary in Ecuador shares a wonderful story of how churches are being planted in his part of the world. An amazing and uplifting story for everyone to read. He closes by sharing the follow simple steps to planting a new church:
-
Someone going to share the Good News of the powerful life-transforming life that is found in Christ.
-
Making disciples of those who respond by walking alongside them in their initial steps of life in Christ.
-
Baptizing as soon as possible those who believe.
-
Teaching them to observe all Jesus commanded.
Should church planting really be any more complicated than that? If we will do our part, Jesus promises to do his part and BUILD HIS CHURCH.
Thanks for the good word, Guy!
Thanks, Bill, for the link to some of the wonderful things God continues to do in our midst here in Ecuador. Indeed church planting is not as complicated as we tend to make it. If we will do what Jesus commanded us to do, He promised He would do his part and build his church. I am a regular reader of “The Thin Edge” and have you on my Omea Blog Reader to get every new post.
