Church planting can be a very effective method of cross-cultural ministry when done right. Here are some things to keep in mind.

Everyone who is Jesus’ disciple is his witness (Acts 1:8) and is sent somewhere, whether locally or further afield.

So there’s no excuse for watching someone else do it instead of us.

Jesus was always ready to be 'interrupted' to fulfill his mission.

The courage to share our faith comes from God, not ourselves.

We all already have gifts, talents and resources we can use to obey God and bless others.

"We see wonderful things happen as we follow Jesus, but it’s not the safest thing to do."
