Episode Overview
This Classroom episode is on Church Planting. This episode of the Lausanne Global Classroom examines the gospel issue of church planting. Central to the mission of God is the planting of the church. ‘I will build my church and all the powers of hell will not conquer it’ (Matt 16:18 NLT). God has entrusted to his people, the whole church, the important strategy of planting more and better visible expressions of himself. The process of collaborative church planting-proclamation, discipleship, gathering, equipping, and impacting society-is the most effective way to reconcile a nation to Christ. When the wider body of believers blend their individual God-given church planting visions into a combined vision, it has its greatest impact and potential of discipling a whole nation.
