Coaching Teams Toward CPM 1) Relationships, 2) activities, 3) structure, 4) training and 5) coaching (follow-up)

A Clear, Biblical, Apostolic End-vision ► From Pastoral to also Apostolic (both/and) § A church planting church – a movement § Pastoring pastors ► Lived, breathed and restated in every setting - OFTEN ► Understood by all of your personnel / members ► The end-vision drives the 1) relationships, 2) activities, 3) structure, 4) training and 5) coaching / follow-up (e. g. SEA Peoples) To make sure every city and people group in Southeast Asian Peoples is engaged with an effective CPM strategy by 2018 ► Kingdom Come! No Place Left!

CPM Continuum: Stages toward CPM (Two Years Progress) ► 1 - Unsure – unsure of how to proceed toward CPM or no plan: From 22 to 6 ► 2 – Moving purposefully 0 to 1 – trying to consistently establish 1 st generation believers & churches: 56 to 45 § 2. 5 - 0 to 1 with 1 st gen believers/groups already 3 to 35 ► 3 – Moving purposefully 1 to 2 some 2 nd gen churches – Consistent 1 st & (due to tightening definitions) 18 to 13 ► 4 – Near CPM - consistent 2 nd, some 3 rd gen churches 1 to 3 ► 5 – Emerging CPM - consistent 3 rd gen churches, some 4 th 1 to

Key Hurdles ► 0 to 1 – first believers and churches § Requires “pushes” and much seed-sowing § First church – requires 1) purposefulness and 2) releasing them to operate as church ► 1 st to 2 nd generation § Requires WHY-WHOM-HOW done quickly § Requires Three-Thirds process – especially RED/BOLD parts § Trust by you in the 1 st generation leaders

1) High Value Relationships: Whom to relate to at various stages to keep a CPM moving forward

Shifting Whom We Relate To (SOILS) 1 It happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus, and found some disciples. 2 He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? ” And they said to him, “No, we have not even heard whethere is a Holy Spirit. ” 3 And he said, “Into what then were you baptized? ” And they said, “Into John’s baptism. ” 4 Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus. ” 5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying. 7 There were in all about twelve men. 8 And he entered the synagogue and continued speaking out boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading them about the kingdom of God. 9 But when some were becoming hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the people, he withdrew from them and took away the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. 10 This took place for two years, so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks. Acts 19: 1 -10

SOILS = Persons Determine whom to invest your time in at each stage (relationships) �Spirit – fervent prayer �Outsiders – to find persons of peace �Insiders – cast vision and trainers �Leaders – multiply fruitful leaders �Segments – reach unreached segments

2) High Value Activities: ► What to give time to at various stages to keep a CPM moving forward ► Heart & Fields CPM Plan

Evaluate how you are progressing from one field to the next generationally ► Intervene where there are hurdles and roadblocks ► Makes sure each flows naturally into the next

3) Structure: Your wineskins must remain flexible ► Vision and strategy dictate structures, not vice versa ► This is difficult because structures are where we feel invested – buildings, salaries, budgets, resources, etc. ► How can you subject your structures to the vision? ► Tweaks § +1, +1 ► Internal changes that are not apparent § E. g. 3/3 in your small groups ► Daniel Projects ► New launches ► Re-structure ► Remember Prov 14: 4!

Traditional / Attractional ► This one central pastor / staff ► Emphasis on gathering / celebration

Cell Church ► Central pastor / staff. Emphasis on groups ► Often, hierarchy of cell leaders (1 per group) Zone Or, Direct cells

► No Mixed central leader or multiple leaders / congregations ► One central leader of each autonomous / connected church

► One Satellite central leader/staff of mother church ► One central leader/staff of each satellite church

► No House Church Network central leader or multiple leaders ► One central leader of each autonomous / connected church

T 4 T groups / churches ► Multiple leaders of multiple groups – everyone equipped; ordinances inherent ► Some become churches; some are parts of larger churches

4) Training: Equipping your people ► With the launch of a vision, training is essential ► It must be frequent, repeated, extensive and practical ► It is received if it is biblical and culturallyappropriate ► People must know what to say “yes” to and what to say “no” to § The most effective CPMers know what to say “no” to MUST have the support of their leaders ► Accountability makes or breaks it § Local case studies are so ► Those training must be helpful! do-ers § Outside consultants / ► Model it, not just train it trainers can help initially ► They

Adapt the CONTENT, not the process ► Keep the content Biblical & ► Keep it obedience-based (Followers & Fishers) reproducible § Ask questions that keep § Clear, appropriate bridges & plan everyone accountable to of salvation (gospel) with vision get to multiple and name list generations § Short-term discipleship: Deal with ► Make sure they know the basics of discipleship ►Include lessons on baptism, what to do when people Lord’s Supper and church, & say “yes” – minutes and perseverance in persecution hours § Long-term discipleship: Then ► Start with a package; teach them to be on-going selffeeders from the Word use it, adapt it. Call it ► Preserve the 3 parts of a the training process what you want

T 4 T – Literate Approach ► Very fast because it 7. uses simple printed sheets 6 lessons 1. Assurance (= testimony ► + Gospel Presentation) 2. Prayer 3. Daily Devotions 4. Church & Baptism 5. Heavenly Father 6. 4 Calls – Spread Gospel 7 th lesson: teach inductive Bible Study (SOS) § Start in Mark (1 year) § Often drop the practice time The content can be altered as long as it is… § Simple – able to be obeyed and passed on by young believers § Biblical – especially is what they need for basic discipleship

TRT – Oral Approach ► Slower because of memorization 10 lessons (Chronological) Testimony + C 2 C Story 1. Baptism (Jesus’ baptism & command) 2. Assurance 3. Prayer 4. God’s (The Good Shepherd) (Jesus prays) Word (Build on Rock) 5. Church (Jesus builds His church) 6. Forgiveness (Unforgiving servant) 7. Lord’s Supper (Last Supper) 8. Love and Serve others (Jesus washes feet) Persevere (Garden & Passion) 10. Great Commission 9. (Sending 12/70 & Great Commission) 11. 11 th lesson onward continue inductive approach using chronological stories or a book of the Bible (e. g. Mark)

5) Coaching (Follow-up): 70 -80% of fruit comes from this! ► Follow-up by those who ► Initially, get coaching can spot problems and from outside continue to cast vision consultants if needed is essential ► Leadership ► Decentralized, abundant development that can mentor-vision is multiply to keep pace needed with the movement § Empower leaders before ► When mentor-visors are you normally expect to overloaded, only the highest initiators succeed

Effective mentorvision is based on two things: ► The end-vision to be accomplished (reaching the lost via CPM) ► The needs of the practitioner personally and professionally

8 Parts of an effective Mentorvisor 1. Make on-site visits regularly, seeing the situation first hand; ministering together (Col 1: 28 -29) 2. Have regular (monthly) development meetings to systematically develop the person– email, skype, face-toface, phone, monthly reports o o How are you and your family doing personally? How did the past month go? Progress / Problems What do you have planned for the coming month? Are there any issues I need to be aware of, or you need help with?
