John Wimber's Teaching on Church Planting Derek Morphew

Church planting and Kingdom theology have been at the heart of the Vineyard movement since its inception. Now, twenty years later, the Vineyard is raising a new generation of churches. In this course John shares his vision for expanding the Kingdom through planting new churches. He gives biblical, theological and practical reasons for planting new churches. He draws on his rich experience of raising up new leaders and planting new churches to envision a new generation of church planters. Original text introducing Wimber's audio teaching seriesJohn Wimber's passion for church planting either contributed to or lies at the historical genesis of the priority given to it in Vineyard and other movements he has influenced. Through the entire course of his ministry, he modeled, inspired and taught it. This is his original teaching on the subject, written up into a text from his audio teaching. The specialist skills and vast experience he brought to the subject as a member of the Fuller School of World Missions provides us with a benchmark, or default document. Fundamentals are laid out here. All our leaders should imbibe this essential beginning, and especially those considering church planting. Derek Morphew, ghost writer
