This page will provide short summaries and links to some of the studies I have done or found that seem to be important for the Body of Christ. My aim is to keep it very practical and innovative – not boring sermons. Articles will cover such topics as:

  • The HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa
  • How to plant Simple churches, and similar topics.
  • Church Planting Movements
  • Reading Luke as a church planting manual
  • World perspectives / Missions
  • Disciple making – it is easier than you think!

So enjoy. And leave your footprint when you go – a comment of disgust or agreement.

  1. READING LUKE AS A CHURCH PLANTING MANUAL – Luke was in the middle of a powerful church planting movement (see a compilation of statistics of growth in the first years of the church), as a member of an apostolic band going strategically from place to place, evangelizing and training leaders who will train other leaders. Could it be that Paul instigated Luke’s writting as a manual to train his leaders? Who knows for sure, but reading it this way has changed forever how I read this book!
  2. T4T Booklet – Here is the booklet we at All Nations are compiling (always in process of perfecting) of “training 4  trainers”. We do not just want to disciple people, but disciple people to disciple others, and thus create a church planting movement. It is not complex. It is just a few basic truths taught with a dogged persistence to settle for nothing less than multiplication. Just a few churches have multiplied with indigenous leaders (all women!!), but we see more happening soon.
  3. Transitioning to a Dynamic Missional Movement by David Broodryk (a fellow South African). This is an excellent article – I will quote here just a bit..   

    “Jesus told us to go into all the world and be his ambassadors, but most churches today have distorted the “go and be”command with a “come and see” appeal. We have grown attached to buildings, programs, staff and a wide variety of goods and services designed to attract and entertain people. “Missional is a helpful term used to  describe what happens when you and I replace the “come to us” invitations with a “go to them” life. A life where “the way of Jesus” informs and radically transforms our existence to one wholly focused on sacrificially living for him and others.”

  4. A Method to our Madness?? is a concise summery of some of the methods we use in our church planting efforts in Cape Town. Each method has a link to a fuller description or the web site of the innovator of that method. It mentions methodology such as:
  1. The God Story
  2. Finding the Person of Peace
  3. T4T – Training for Trainers
  4. Oikos evangelism
  5. Etc.

5. Lozi Language Primer – You will have a hard time finding any phrase book for Lozi. Thanks to Mike Lungu, our Zambian team member, here is one. If you are coming to join us for any length of time, please take a bit of time to study this.
