  14. Reaching the City - Part Three • Engage in spiritual warfare • Recognize and cooperate with like-minded churches and people • Don’t stifle any vision – encourage anyone who wants to reach the city • Network individuals who want to transform their part of the city, for example Vision Orlando

  15. Building Movements – Part Four Five Keys to Building Spiritual Movements 1. One person or a small group are challenged by a Bible truth, usually a salvation issue. 2. Some specific area of need (their own community or a mission field) becomes a target audience where the salvation message needs to be applied. One or more individuals feels called to go and meet the need.

  16. 3. The person proclaims the gospel, doing evangelism and discipling those who respond: some converts, some Christians who respond to the vision. 4. The ministry is build using a multiplication philosophy (II Tim. 2:2) and a community of spirit is formed within the new converts, leading to church planting. Training is used to prepare workers to quickly extend the work to a wider target area.

  17. 5. As the target area is reached either a broader mission is chosen or the movement levels out into a stable church environment. Eventually, if multiplication is continued, 1) a mission, 2) a church body, and 3) a leadership training methodology are established and institutionalized.
