BASICTRAINING

As you begin this Journey of planting a new church to the

glory of God, each participant must answer the question,

Whats Your Destination? Are you setting out to plant a

single church or are you planning to plant multiple churches that plant churches? Will you open

your eyes to the Kingdom of God which is far bigger than you or your future church? To reach

North America for Christ, we must focus on building the kingdom and move from addition to

multiplication. We hope and pray that you will hear Jesus when He says, Open your eyes and

look at the fields, for they are ready for harvest(John 4:35b, HCSB). A church planting movement

is needed across North America and more church planters and church planting teams are

required to lead this movement. May youfind Gods Destination for your life as together we seek

to plant multiplying churches.

ACTIVITY 1

Definition: In the context of Gods kingdom, stewardship means being careful and

responsible with the resources that God has entrusted to us.

ACTIVITY 2

Example: BodyDo you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you,

whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore
