Following The Apostles' Vision for Disciple-Making Church-Planting Movements - Recapturing Their Vision for Today "There is no more place for me to work in these regions." - Paul (Romans 15:23) From small and unlikely beginnings in Jerusalem; the message of Jesus seemed to explode across the Roman world within only a few decades. It was powered by the Holy Spirit and the passion of those first men and women who had spent time with Jesus; but this remarkable success also came with self-sacrificing determination; hard work and innovative mission strategies. Re-reading the pastoral letters of Paul—written to the respective churches within the first 10 years of their planting—offers valuable insights into the focus; energy and methods of Paul and his ministry teams. And it must challenge our vision and practice of church; ministry and mission today.
