  15. “The spontaneous expansion of the Church reduced to its elements is a very simple thing. It asks for no elaborate organization, no large finances, no great numbers of paid missionaries.” -- Roland Allen, Spontaneous Expansion

  16. “One man who is able to plant a church so modeled that very few ever could approximate his success is not thinking world evangelization. He is near-sighted. There may be room for unique models which are not reproducible, but if the world is to be reached, it will be by multiplication and not by addition.” -- Charles Brock, Indigenous Church Planting, 126.
