What to Expect

God’s mission in the world is to reach everyone with his loving Father's heart, and he has commissioned his church to represent his heart to the world. Every church leader, church planter, and missionary is called to either equip the church for this mission or to take the church where it is not and to plant churches among unengaged and frontier people groups. Traditional ministry methods of addition do not even keep up with the world’s population growth and leave many Christians as passive pew warmers, rather than active disciple-makers. The most effective ministry approach to accomplish God’s mission is movement ministry which seeks to start and grow a movement, where disciples make disciples who make disciples and churches plant churches which plant churches, so that multiplication takes place.

Upon the successful completion of this course you will have demonstrated growth in the following areas:

Have a vision for how God uses movements in our day and age to carry out his mission in the world, what the characteristics of movements are and how they are grounded in scripture, and a vision for what type of person he uses to start such movements.
Have developed the ability to choose or develop ministry methods and tools that are reproducible by your disciples and their disciples.
Be filled with and be further cultivating expectant faith that God is going to use you to start a movement or contribute to one, and not settle for anything less, not even great growth by addition.
Be motivated and equipped for lifelong learning in acquiring and developing the competencies required for effective movement catalysts.

Movement Catalysts

Profile of an apostolic leader

Around the world, movements to Christ are sparking and flourishing in some of the darkest places while other Christian efforts to reach the unreached have seen either little or no positive response. How do we attempt to explain this disparity? In Movement Catalysts, Emanuel Prinz points to the apostolic leader as the critical factor of successful catalyzing of movements, arguing that wherever you see a movement, you will find a catalyst with a specific set of qualities. Movement Catalysts synthesizes the first-ever empirical research study on effective movement leaders in pioneer contexts, including data from thirty-five different movements around the world.
