Judea Harvest implements a comprehensive church planting strategy in five stages: ministers fraternal invitation, satellite launch, research, church planting, and follow-up visits. The process involves GPS technology, continual reporting, and partner involvement to strategically plant churches through evangelistic efforts.

  1. A Holistic Church Planting Strategy Impacting Cities

  2. The 5 Stages of the Strategy • Stage 1 – Ministers Fraternal Invitation • Stage 2 – Satellite Launch • Stage 3 – Research • Stage 4 – Church Planting • Stage 5 – Follow-up Visits

  3. Stage 1 – Ministers Fraternal Invitation • We only respond to an invitation where the pastors in an area/community or city are willing to work together in unity. • We then hold 2-3 consultations with them to cast the vision and explain the strategy.

  4. Stage 2 – Satellite Launch • A satellite is launched, meaning that there is now an evangelistic and church planting movement in the area or city. • This is done at a vision conference to which all the church leaders are invited. • At this event the Crusade Tent is dedicated. • The Satellite Coordinator is appointed. • A list is drawn up showing the dates each church would have with the Crusade Tent to evangelise and plant a church.

  5. Stage 2 – Satellite Launch • A date is set for the training of the Evangelists. • A Church Planting school is established. The church planters are trained once a month for a period of 10 months.

  6. Stage 3 - Research • The Research methodology used is by means of GPS technology. • Researchers are trained and deployed with GPS’s to mark all the churches, cult churches, witch doctors, alcohol outlets, schools and other places of social influence. • The downloaded information is used to create digital maps that tell a story. • It shows where the church is and where it is not. • Scenarios are created which indicate: • a) how many churches are needed and • b) where they should be planted.

  7. Stage 3 - Research • It is now easier to plant churches more strategic and to plot the growth of churches in a city. • It is also easy to see if there is a decline in social influences.

  8. Stage 4 – Church Planting • The Evangelism tent is then rotated among the participating churches. • Each church can now use it to evangelize and plant churches strategically. • Once the Evangelism tent moves away they can now purchase a smaller tent for worship and community service. • The purchase is in partnership with donors. • The average church plants about 4 new churches a year.

  9. Stage 5 – Follow Up • Judea Harvest operates with a monitoring system of continual reporting by Satellite and Area Coordinators. • Judea Staff make personal visits to these tents twice a year to see if they are still operating as agreed. • This reduces the attrition rate to below 3%. • With the follow-up new goals are set for training evangelists, church planters and where the next churches should be planted.

  10. Growth Scenarios YEAR ONE: • One Evangelism Tent • ± 10 Churches Planted • ± 1,000 New Converts • ± 10 Church Planters Trained • 50 Evangelists Trained

  11. Growth Scenarios YEAR TWO: • Each church plants another 4 churches: 10 x 4 = 40 Churches • ± 4,000 New Converts • ± 40 Church Planters Trained • Another 50 Evangelists Trained

  12. Growth Scenarios YEAR THREE: • Each church plants another 4 churches: 50 x 4 = 200 Churches • ± 20,000 New Converts • ± 200 Church Planters Trained • Another 50 Evangelists Trained

  13. Growth Scenarios AFTER 3 YEARS: • 200 New Churches strategically planted in one area/city. • ± 200 Church Planters Trained • ± 20,000 New Converts • 150 Evangelists Trained

  14. CONCLUSION • Judea Harvest has implemented this ideal Saturated Church Planting Model for some 8 years now. • The results speak for itself: • More than 6,000 evangelistic crusades have been conducted. • Approximately 3,500 new churches have been planted. • More than 500,000 people have responded to the gospel. • Many pre-schools have been started in under-developed communities. • Many micro-economic projects have been initiated to support the community. • Thousands have seen and heard “God’s Answer to AIDS” in the tents.
