Can We Take Church Multiplication Too Far?

Submitted By: George Patterson | Word Count: 440 | Views: 109

Now that the term 'church multiplication' (CM) has become accepted in mission circles, is there a danger of it becoming a superficial fad?

We must never see it as a ministry by itself or our motivating strategy. The Bible does not mention the term. What Scripture does reveal is that where the apostles and their mentees made disciples the way Jesus said to, churches reproduced. History shows the same. And that's as far as we should take it. In all my Perspectives classes on it and every workshop I've led to introduce Train & Multiply(TM) I've emphasized the need for obeying the commands of Jesus and His apostles in love and childlike faith. That's about the only thing on this planet that men can never carry too far.

Dr. Galen Currah and I discussed the need for a well-reasoned paper to assess this concern. I hope that the article will be picked up by EMQ or in some other way reach those who might be tempted to confuse the cause and effect of church multiplication. Paul clarified this when he said that he planted, Apollos watered but God gave the growth.

Galen Currah adds: "We have seen how some North American Evangelicals abused the research-based insights that Donald MacGavran shared, creating consulting businesses, making themselves church growth "apostles", purveying books and courses on how to grow bigger, richer, more glamorous. How will they show their fascination with CM? Maybe by...

-- Appointing inexperienced youth as "CM missionaries" to raise funds.
-- Making "CM a stated objective" in publicity materials.
-- Renaming formal educational courses as a "CM program".
-- Holding CM seminars and workshops that neglect apostolic practices.
-- Writing CM curricula that ignore apostolic principles and teachings.
-- Proclaiming ourselves to be the "apostles of CM" for the 21st century.
-- Raising huge sums of money to control the "CM factors" in missions.
-- Hustling to find the conference speaker who can "instill CM" into our ministry.
-- Calling stagnant congregational small groups small groups, a "CM".
-- Calling small groups or house churches a "local CM movement".
-- Writing base-less magazine articles on "CM Methods That Work".
-- Downplaying CM amongst the poor as breeding grounds for heresy.
-- Inventing new theologies of "quantity over quality" or "quality over quantity"

History shows that church multiplication is the normal result of God working in response to several things. These include our prayers, relational evangelism focused on people that He has prepared, discipling for obedience to Christ, meaningful worship and leadership training, especially when these ministries are harmonized by the Holy Spirit and done in the New Testament way.

Carl,

Motor trouble must be catching. We went by the CG Wal-Mart this morning on
the way to church at 7:30 more or less. There were 3 motorhomes in the
lot, in the far southeast corner. I suspect that they were coming to the
Gypsy Journal Rally at the fairgrounds, starting Monday.

Further east, there is another large parking lot of a vacant store (south
side). There were 3 or 4 RVs there also, as far from the street as they
could get. Perhaps the Casa Grande ordinance enforcement division took
Saturday night off.

I'm not complaining.

Gene

Wal*Mart    St-Hyachinte QC , Canada

Wal*Mart
5950 Rue Martineau,
St-Hyachinte QC
Phone: (800) 328-0402

On the night of Sept 07, 2007, we stayed overnight at this location.
It was very quiet as the Wal Marts in QC closed about 10PM. There were
five more RV's that also stayed overnight. There were no signs posted
on the lot. The WM store is located in a large shopping area,
fuel/gas, restaurants, supplies are available close by.
Directions:
From the Trans Canada Hwy. #20, take EXIT 130 North to Blvd.
Laframboise (Prov #137 & 235), stay in the center lane to the first
set of traffic lights at Rue Martineau. Turn Left onto Rue Martineau Wal
Mart will be on your right. The Wal Mart store is quite visible from
the street. The lot is quite level and its expected that RV's should
park away from the main entrance or close to the lot perimeters .
Note: We didn't ask permission, and didn't observe anyone else ask.
This is true of all of our overnight stays in several Provinces.
In the future I may start asking at the courtesy desk and be able to
post more information, but somehow I doubt if the store managers want to
be called to the front of the store each time an RV'er wants permission
to overnight. (Just my opinion)
Cheers Willis
