Meeting in Athens
Church-planting and disciple-making were forum topics
More than 40 CMF team members and staff, plus their families and children’s workers, gathered in Athens, Greece, in late May for a church planting forum organized by CMF’s Church Catalysts division.
“The goal of the forum, held about every three years, is to connect the missionaries so they can brainstorm, network and learn from one another,” said David Giles, Director of Church Catalysts Ministries. “This year was a little different because we brought in an outside expert, Victor John, as a guest speaker.”
Victor John is a successful church planter in India, and shared his experiences with the Disciple-Making Movement (DMM) with the CMF teams. They met in teams to develop lists of best practices for disciple making, moving from a small group toward becoming a church, and holistic ministry.
