NTM's Church Planting

Philosophy and Methodology

 

The goal is a healthy and flourishing tribal church.

 

How do we get there from here?

  Understanding the final goal is a helpful place to start.

 

What does "healthy and flourishing" look like?

  • Believers - with a clear understanding of the Gospel and how to live a life led by the Holy Spirit.
  • Indigenous Leadership - not missionary dependent
  • Evangelism - believers encouraged and equipped to expand the reach of the Gospel to other villages in their language group - and beyond, to other languages.

 

What is required to accomplish this?

  • Bible - in their own language; the NT and many OT portions
  • Literacy - so people can read the Bible they have
  • Shepherding & Discipleship - their worldview and thinking about daily life have to be Bible-based
  • Leadership Training - based on NT Church principles
  • Bible lessons - so they can teach others just as they themselves were taught - carefully and systematically

 

What is required to accomplish this?

  • Believers - that is, missionaries: people who are already saved, and burdened with the need to take the Gospel to people who have never before had the chance to hear
  • Time - at least several years for the missionaries living among them to learn their culture and language and to develop relationships with the people
  • Time - the Bible teaching cannot start with John 3:16, but with Genesis 1:1 - there is a Creator, and this is what He is like, and what He has done

  • And More Time - after centuries of animistic thinking, it takes time for the new believers to grow in their understanding of the Christian life and of NT Church principles
