This weekend we had a good meeting with Tommy and Beth Larner concerning their insights into church planting from a cell church perspective. They are warm, caring and passionate about reaching out to those who do not know Jesus. The Larners speak from a wealth of experience and have been on the field doing the work, not just telling others, what they should do.
We have heard many good comments about the meeting and look forward to hearing more input concerning this method of church planting. We understand that your supervisors on the field will give you their take on the strategies that have been effective in their ministry areas. It is good to hear from different perspectives what God is using in specific areas of the Americas. Even if you are an experienced practitioner of cell ministry from the states, we can state plainly, "you haven't done it in Latin America" ... things will be different.
We are placing some new materials concerning Cell Church under the downloads section. Please feel free to download, study and utilize these materials as God leads.
Once again, we believe that it will take many differing ways to preach the gospel to all peoples of the Americas, and maybe using cells is one that will be in your future.
After the conference some said, "Well this is one more tool to put in my toolbox". We would encourage you to choose a tool and put it to use. Tools in the toolbox stay shiny and new looking, but never get the job done. Church planting, however you choose to do it, is messy ... Get dirty!
Grace,
Mike and Annette
