We desperately want to see a CPM (Church Planting Movement) sweep millions into the Kingdom in North America. For this to occur, we will need tens of thousands of church planters and millions of 'people of peace' who are prepared by God to start a church in their home (or dorm or office or....). But, where will we get these leaders?
The Leadership Solution 10/2005
My prayer partner, Kenny Moore, calls Luke 10:2b "The Leadership Solution".
We desperately want to see a CPM (Church Planting Movement) sweep millions into the Kingdom in North America. For this to occur, we will need tens of thousands of church planters and millions of 'people of peace' who are prepared by God to start a church in their home (or dorm or office or....).
But, where will we get these leaders?
Our belief is that Jesus gave us the answer. "Beseech the Lord of the harvest to send forth labors into His harvest field." Lk. 10:2b. Our part is to ask (beseech, beg, pester). His part is to send (thrust out, launch). He does the "heavy lifting" (and, therefore, gets the glory). Our experience has been that once we find one of the these "launched" harvest workers, everything else is easy. (see Cornelius in Acts 10) So, we are putting most of our effort into prayer believing that before there can be a "church planting movement" there must be a "prayer movement".
We seek to "infect" everyone we can with the 10:2b Virus. (We call it a "virus" because it is so easy for it to be passed on from person to person to person.) Two people (Jesus sent them two by two) beseeching the Lord of the Harvest as close to every day as possible for their assignment (their part of the harvest field).
