January 14-15, 2003--8:30 am to 4:30 pm
This workshop is designed for Church Planting Movement (CPM) facilitation. A CPM is a rapid and
exponential increase of indigenous churches planting churches. Every region of the world is now
seeing a Church Planting Movement. This workshop will focus on a CPM methodology known as
T4T--Training for Trainers--that was the catalyst for a new CPM that saw 15,000 new churches in
one year. You will leave these sessions with a very simple and practical approach to begin
facilitating a CPM in your existing ministry context as well as to teach CPM-T4T.
(CPM).
Experience T4T as grass roots trainers/trainees do on the field--including immediate
implementation (as fully as the conference context allows).
Learn to make on-the-ground training in evangelism and church planting the earliest phase of
CPM work.
See the gap closed between CPM theory and practice:
through a process in which reproduction and multiplication are key principles throughout.
through a process that tests the limits of the "resources are in the harvest" principle
Equip yourself to begin using T4T to train trainers as soon as the conference concludes.
