Coaching Teams Toward CPM

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

2. A Clear, Biblical, Apostolic End-vision • (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!Finishing what others have started… • 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

3. 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 1st generation believers & churches: 56to 45 • 2.5 - 0 to 1 with 1st gen believers/groups already 3 to 35 • 3 – Moving purposefully 1 to 2 – Consistent 1st & some 2nd gen churches (due to tightening definitions) 18 to13 • 4 – Near CPM - consistent 2nd, some 3rd gen churches 1 to 3 • 5 – Emerging CPM - consistent 3rd gen churches, some 4th 1 to 1 • 6 – Sustained CPM - consistent 4th generation churches; multiple streams are started 0 to 2

4. 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 • 1st to 2nd generation • Requires WHY-WHOM-HOW done quickly • Requires Three-Thirds process – especially RED/BOLD parts • Trust by you in the 1st generation leaders

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

6. 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 whether there 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

7. SOILS of the CPM Continuum – whom to relate to at each stage Few/no Target Group Christians YOUR SITUATION Many willing Target Group Christians Many Multiplying Target Group Churches Progress from lostness toward sustained church planting movements • Your team • Cast vision and train far & near culture partners • Much evangelism that leads to church planting, especially M2E (verbal) • Including development of appropriate EV materials/methods • Find breakthrough Persons of Peace (Luke 10) especially via “PUSHES” • Move new converts to category below • Start as many streams as possible Spend the appropriate percentage of ministry time on what is needed to move across the continuum Outsiders - looking for POPs Evaluate your situation and invest in key relationships that move you across the continuum • Cast vision to target group believers to become willing partners • Training Trainers until multiple generations exist • Fill your 2 weeks with many groups • Help partners to do the same Insiders – casting vision & training willing partners YOUR RELATIONS Spirit - Fervent Prayer Always • Mid-level trainings. • Top-level leader mentoring. • Of fruitful people (proven worth) • Develop a network of frequent, fervent pray-ers • Including your and your team • Expand it to your national colleagues Leaders – to sustain CPM • Look for ways the CPM is naturally crossing over • Via same, near or far culture partners • Looking for people of peace through special PUSHES • Until the entire target group is saturated Segments – getting to new lost segments

8. The CPM Continuum Few/no Target Group Christians Many willing Target Group Christians Many Multiplying Target Group Churches Outsiders - looking for POPs Insiders – casting vision & training willing partners Because God is already at work we can move across the continuum quickly! YOUR RELATIONS Spirit - Fervent Prayer Always Leaders – to sustain CPM Most people move 1-2 steps at a time across the continuum . . . Celebrate each step forward! Segments – getting to new lost segments

9. 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 train trainers • Leaders – multiply fruitful leaders • Segments – reach unreached segments

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

11. Four Fields CPM Plan FATHER’S HEART (Mt 6:9-10, Acts 1:8) G4(2 Tim 2:2) SEGMENTS(Mt 13:31-33) 5-15 Segments • ABIDING in CHRIST • (Psa 78:72, • Mt 11:12, 17:20) • Desperate for God • Desp for vision • Faith • PRAYER • (Mt 6:9-10, Lk 10:2, • 11:5-13, Acts 1:14) • By you & team • By outsiders • By nationals • Let’s draw it together. • For your personal application • For training local partners

(With appreciation to Nathan Shank for the 4 fields analogy)

15. 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

16. 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, +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!

17. Traditional / Attractional • This one is one central pastor / staff • Emphasis on gathering / celebration

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

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

20. Satellite One central leader/staff of mother church One central leader/staff of each satellite church

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

22. T4T groups / churches Multiple leaders of multiple groups – everyone equipped; ordinances inherent Some become churches; some are parts of larger churches

24. 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 culturally-appropriate • Local case studies are so helpful! • Outside consultants / trainers can help initially • People must know what to say “yes” to and what to say “no” to • The most effective CPMers know what to say “no” to • They MUST have the support of their leaders • Accountability makes or breaks it • Those training must be do-ers • Model it, not just train it

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

26. T4T – Literate Approach • Very fast because it uses simple printed sheets 6 lessons • Assurance (= testimony + Gospel Presentation) • Prayer • Daily Devotions • Church & Baptism • Heavenly Father • 4 Calls – Spread Gospel • 7th lesson: teach induc-tive 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

27. TRT – Oral Approach • Slower because of memorization 10 lessons (Chronological) Testimony + C2C Story • Baptism (Jesus’ baptism & command) • Assurance (The Good Shepherd) • Prayer (Jesus prays) • God’s Word (Build on Rock) • Church (Jesus builds His church) • Forgiveness (Unforgiving servant) • Lord’s Supper (Last Supper) • Love and Serve others (Jesus washes feet) • Persevere (Garden & Passion) • Great Commission (Sending 12/70 & Great Commission) • 11th lesson onward continue inductive approach using chronological stories or a book of the Bible (e.g. Mark)

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

29. 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

30. 8 Parts of an effective Mentorvisor • Make on-site visits regularly, seeing the situation first hand; ministering together (Col 1:28-29) • Have regular (monthly) development meetings to systematically develop the person– email, skype, face-to-face, phone, monthly reports • 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?

31. 8 Parts of an effective Mentorvisor • 1 – Unsure – unsure of how to proceed toward CPM or no plan • 2 – Moving purposefully 0 to 1 – trying to consistently establish 1st generation believers & churches • 2.5 - 0 to 1 with 1st gen believers/groups already • 3 – Moving purposefully 1 to 2 – Consistent 1st & some 2nd gen churches • 4 – Near CPM - consistent 2nd, some 3rd gen churches • 5 – Emerging CPM - consistent 3rd gen churches, some 4th • 6 – Sustained CPM - consistent 4th generation churches; multiple streams are started • Make on-site visits regularly, seeing the situation first hand; ministering together (Col 1:28-29) • Have regular (monthly) development meetings to systematically develop the person– email, skype, face-to-face, phone, monthly reports • Help them systematically move across the CPM Continuum – think thru what is needed at each stage • Follow-up consistently

32. 8 Parts of an effective Mentorvisor 1 Thes 5:14 Responses: • Unruly /Rebellious • Admonish / warn / correct • Fainthearted / Discouraged • Encourage / give a pep talk • Weak / unable to do it /paralyzed • Help / give structured assistance / walk alongside • Everyone • Be patient! It takes time to change • Make on-site visits regularly, partnering for 1-2 days with the TSL in his life and in his work with nationals • Have regular (monthly) development meetings to systematically develop the TSLs – email, skype, face-to-face, phone • Help them systematically move across the CPM Continuum • Follow-up consistently • Learn to listen well & address ROOT issues • Address problems quickly in an appropriate manner 1 Thes 5:14

33. 8 Parts of an effective Mentorvisor • Handbook is the Bible (2 Tim 3:16-17) • Teaching (the righteous path to walk on) • Reproof (telling you that you are wrong) • Correction (telling you how to get back on the right path) • Training in righteousness (how to stay on the path) • Enabler is Christ (Phil 4:13; John 15:1-18) • Life support system is the church/body (Heb 10:24-25) • Personal choice is the key (Luke 9:23; 9:57-62) • Make on-site visits regularly, partnering for 1-2 days with the TSL in his life and in his work with nationals • Have regular (monthly) development meetings to systematically develop the TSLs – email, skype, face-to-face, phone • Help them systematically move across the CPM Continuum • Follow-up consistently • Learn to listen well & address ROOT issues • Address problems quickly in an appropriate manner 1 Thes 5:14 • H.E.L.P. in Empowering Ways • Arrange for annual evaluation and planning for coming year • Real evaluation
