Multiplying Leaders

Multiplying Leaders

With Tom Wood | Church Multiplication Ministries

 

Live from Sydney, 12:15 pm Thursday 30 August 2018

We were joined by Tom Wood from Church Multiplication Ministries, a ministry to leaders so that they multiply the gospel in their spheres of influence. Tom has planted and pastored two churches, was the founding director of North GA Church Planting Network (renamed Metro Atlanta Collective) and has served as Director of Church Planting for a church-planting network (PMI) in Atlanta.

This webinar started the conversation of how we can see men and women equipped and unleashed as missional leaders of Gods people.

  • What are some of the challenges of developing and multiplying leaders around New Zealand?
  • How can we put in place a leadership development pipeline in jour churches?
  • Growing leaders of character – why is it important and how can we grow leaders in the area of character?
  • What stops us from developing and unleashing leaders, and how can we move past that?

Thanks to City To City Australia for their partnership in running this webinar.

Building Momentum for Mission

Building Momentum for Mission

With Lee Murray | Establish Church

 

Live from Auckland Bible Church, 12 pm – 2 pm Wednesday 23 May

We are pleased to partner with Grace Theological College to provide a working lunch on the topic of building momentum for mission in our churches.

Over lunch we will look at a case study of Establish Church that was planted in Australia in 2015 with a small core team – what can we learn from their experience and how can we apply some of the theologically driven principles to our own churches. This working lunch is for church leaders, pastors, and elders who long to cultivate a culture of evangelism in their churches.

  • What are the blockages that prevent more effective mission across our churches?
  • How can we equip our members and gifted evangelists to create momentum for mission?
  • How prayerful and engaged are our congregations with the task – and how can that be developed?

The Powerful Word | William Taylor

THE POWERFUL WORD

TRUSTING GOD’S WORD TO DO GOD’S WORK

The powerful and vibrant ministry of William Orange in the 1930s and 40s saw many people raised up and sent out for mission both here in New Zealand and around the world. Known widely as ‘Orange Pips’ their legacy has been ministry which is rooted powerfully in the word of God and marked by a deep trust in God’s word to do God’s work. Their influence can be seen in many different churches and in the lives of many Christians across denominations to this day. Today there is a great need for men and women to imitate William’s ‘Orange Pips’

  • For people from all around New Zealand to be so captured by the gospel their lives are radically transformed
  • For people so eager to sit under teaching that brings the scriptures to life they would do so at great cost to themselves
  • For people with such a deep burning passion for the advance of the gospel and the growth of His kingdom, they would dedicate their lives as ministers, missionaries or key church members

Today there is great need to trust God’s powerful word to do God’s work!

These resources are from series of workshops on the
24th, 25th, and 26th of January 2017

We were joined by William Taylor from St Helen’s Bishopgate, London as we dug into the book of Acts, unpacking how Paul’s ministry and hearing the lessons learned in St Helen’s training ministry that has been used by God to equip many people for lay and vocational ministry in the UK and around the world.

The Apostle Paul was

no one-band-man
no one-stop-wonder
no cowboy-builder.

How does that shape our own ministry?

THE MULTICULTURAL FACE OF MISSION

How do we reach an increasingly multicultural society with the gospel?

More than 25% of New Zealander’s were born overseas. Last year 60,000 permanent and long term migrants made NZ their home and this is projected to increase. In God’s great kindness the nations are coming to us – how can we hold out the gospel of life to our increasingly multicultural society?

Join us in to draw from the experience of Steve Maina, National Director of New Zealand Church Missionary Society (NZCMS) and his experience of seeing the Gospel proclaimed in different cultural contexts all around the world. He will be joined by a panel of local church leaders to dig into how their churches are working to engage the nations that have come to our doorstep with the Gospel.

  • What are the opportunities we have for reaching the nations that have come to NZ?
  • Where are our cultural blind spots that inhibit gospel growth?
  • How can we change anything apart from the gospel to remove and stumbling blocks for people from other cultures?

Building Momentum for Mission | Panel Discussion

How do we help all of our church to move forward in their evangelistic endeavours?

How are we seeking to do mission? We invited a panel of church leaders to lay out and evaluate the strategy their church has adopted.

  • How are our churches equipping members and gifted evangelists to create momentum for mission?
  • How prayerful and engaged are our congregations with the task – and how can that be developed?
  • What are the blockages that prevent more effective mission across our churches?

We were joined by Paddy Benn, who works as a evangelism trainer and strategist for Sydney University Evangelical Union. Paddy has two decades of experience and reflection on campus evangelism and how that translates to local churches. We asked him to reflect on the effectiveness of evangelism training and public missions in his context and what lessons can be learnt.

Help People to Connect and Stay Connected

Update from Multiply Director Rowan Hilsden about the workshop How do we help people to love and belong to their church family?

Wednesday the 6th of May 2015
Venue TBC

Against a backdrop of increasing isolation and independence in New Zealand and across the western world, the scriptures remind us that we are more than individuals. United by the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus – we have been made into a new people! Yet the reality of going to church can be so different. This workshop focuses on how to provide a clear pathway to help people to connect and stay connected to their church.

The Multicultural Face of Ministry

Steve Chong |

Update from the speaker for our workshop How do we to reach an increasingly multicultural society with the gospel?
Friday the 1st of May 2015
Auckland Bible Church.

Over 40% of Auckland’s population were born overseas. Currently, 30% of Auckland’s population is of Asian ethnicity and this is projected to overtake Maori and Pacific Island ethnicity within the next decade. This workshop is a fantastic opportunity to draw from the experience of one of the most significant Asian-based youth movements in Australia.
