Determining the mission 

What the church is not :

• A Social Club
• A Hospital
• An Army Boot Camp
• A School

What the church is :

• A Cause
• A Community
• A Corporation - well organised

What the Church is called to BE and to DO :

• To be Worshippers
• To be Witnesses - live out gospel
• To make disciples

5 Steps Towards Building an IDMC - 

church built around a personality would not last.

It takes deep convictions, clear strategy and concrete vehicles.

1. Establish Biblical Foundations - Read the Instructions carefully and thoroughly. Growth takes time!
2. Champion Disciplemaking Vision
3. Launch Prototype - Think Big, Start Small, Build Deep. Start with a few leaders.
4. Concretize Vehicles - Discipleship Training Programmes
5. Establish the Infrastructure - Testimonies sharing. People must be motivated, must be driven by God. We cannot push people into it.
