GO AND PLANT
TEAM's Church Planting Blog
A place to stir your thoughts and suggest tools that will help you plant churches among the lost and make disciples who will make disciples who make disciples, spreading the church of the Lord Jesus to the ends of the earth.
Welcome to TEAM’s Church Planting Blog. It is our prayer that through these posts you will often find “just in time” help and encouragement in the work God has given you. At the end of each blog post, you’ll have the opportunity to interact, ask questions, and share ideas with other readers in the comments section.
My prayer for you is … Hebrews 13:20-21
“Now may the God of peace … equip you with everything good for doing His will, and may He work in us what is pleasing to Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”

Is evangelism an event or is it a process… or both? And why does that matter?
I’m new in this place. I don’t know anyone. Where do I begin? How do we get started when we enter a new town or city? In this blog, we will provide a few tools you may be able to use to get started in Connecting with the local people.
Many discipleship Bible study methods require lots of time and work. In our busy world, it is hard for many to take the extended time sometimes required. If you need a simple, flexible, reproducible method of discipleship, here is an example you could consider.
As we try to build a growth track for Making and Growing and Equipping disciples, it is helpful to clarify the stages it normally takes for a person to grow from being “lost and unconnected” to becoming the mature and fruitful disciple God wants.
How do I build multiplication of Disciple Makers into the Process of Discipleship?
How can I make it a natural part of discipleship that the new disciples will learn to pass it on to others? The 3 Thirds Process is one way to do that.
The right materials and methods won’t result in multiplication unless we have an intentional process designed to multiply. Learn some helpful tips on building your multiplication process.

What does a healthy house church look like?
What are the elements of a healthy house church that would indicate to you that it will continue on and grow and multiply without you being present at the meetings?
How will you know when your church plant is ready for you to leave?
Can you prepare for that day from the beginning of the work?
In our blog, “https://www.goandplant.com/having-an-exit-plan-from-the-start,” we noted that an Exit Plan, or Transition Plan, is our vision of the essential parts of the planted church that we need to see in place and functioning that will indicate to us that this church will continue to thrive without us and that our work as church planters is done. When these are present, we know that we can either transition out to a new role such as equipper and mentor, or we can move on to begin a work in a new area. Today we will look at an example of an exit plan from an urban church plant in an open country.
Before we started our church plant, I said to the team, "We need to have an exit plan." They all looked at me strangely and said, "An Exit Plan? We haven't even started yet." But before we start, we need to know what it is that we are building and when our work will be done.
