PLANTING CHURCHES

" Winning lost souls to Christ and discipling them to become true followers of Him"

After studying carefully the book of The Acts , we came out with the conclusion that there were four stages in the developing of the Early Church : planting, growth, extension and mission. That's the missionary approach we have adopted in the All Nations Church. After planting a local church, we need to care for its growth. After considering its sensitive growth we can think of extending the work to the surrounding areas to start « satellite » churches. So, we go from Jerusalem to Judea and Samaria to extend the work to the remote parts of the earth. We talk about mission when we take the gospel out of our initial mission field . It may be in a different region of the same country or abroad.

After creating man, God told him : « be fruitful and multiply ». If you know you are not fruitful, you wouldn’t even try to multiply yourself. If a local church does not grow both numerically and spirituality , the process for extension and mission may not work successfully.

According to the cliché we’ve got from the Early Church , the church growth's principles of extension and mission have become a leitmotiv of our ministry.
