How Strong Is Your Church?

Newsletter taken from IMD International -     

The Apostle Paul spent far more time and effort in strengthening local expressions of Christ’s body than in bringing new people to faith in Christ.   

• Are leaders being equipped and deployed in your church? 

• Does your church find itself multiplying congregations? 

• Is the Biblical model of multiple elders active in your church? 

• Would you say the practices of your church match those of the early church as described in the book of Acts and Paul’s letters in the Bible? 

There are timeless, supra-cultural principles to be harvested from the work of the Holy Spirit as see in the book of Acts and the epistles of Paul in the New Testament.  Churches across the world are returning to the Scriptures to “check their alignment” with God’s purposes and practices.  God has brought to the surface in recent years some resources to help guide spiritual thirsty churches in this search for Biblical alignment. One such resource is God’s Plan For Church Planting.  

The title is somewhat misleading—church planting.  The manual actually walks the participants through the New Testament books of Acts and Paul’s letters.  Thus, those going through the guided study of God’s Word discover (under God’s revelation) God’s timeless, supra-cultural principles for establishing, equipping, evangelizing, and expanding the body of Christ. 

 This resource is being grabbed up by the body of Christ — now    in fourteen languages and three more immediately forthcoming.  

Why don’t you get a copy of God’s Plan For Church Planting and  let God walk you through His Word for a “spiritual alignment?”
