Reproducing Churches
What
we would like to see happen among the Kuy people is a Disciple Making
or Church Planting Movement. A simple way to express what that means is
"a rapid and exponential increase of indigenous churches planting
churches within a given people group or population segment"
(https://www.missionfrontiers.org/issue/article/what-is-a-church-planting-movement).
Looking
at just one key aspect of this definition, "exponential
increase," in a movement we are not expecting that a few churches
will be started each year. Rather we expect multiplication, two
churches become four and four become eight and so on, as in the diagram
to the left. In order for this to happen it must be the new churches
starting new churches themselves rather than church planters or
missionaries starting new churches.
Pray for the many house
churches and small groups that have begun in Cambodia among the Kuy over the last few
years to gain a multiplication mindset. Ask that they would be so
excited about Jesus that they would share the good news with others in
their villages and then make plans to travel to other villages to share
about Christ.
