SOS AS CHURCH PLANTING  LABORATORY

Because of the goal of our movement `Harvest 5000 in 2010’ , every member church of our movement is mandated to participate in the nationwide `Plant Another Church’ program. How can our churches comply? We offer SOS as a method to accelerate our efforts to reach the goal.  

Local churches organize a Church Planting Team   of at least 5 people.  The teams gain experience in church planting by joining a month-long SOS church planting laboratory places targeted by the district.  The teams go back to their churches ready to plant churches in their   local target places.

TO ACCELERATE THE PLANTING OF 5000 NEW CHURCHES BY 2010

Action Plan:

• Local churches organize church planting teams (CPT)  of 5.
• Districts Facilitate a SOS Church Planting Laboratory
• CPT members learn  by  OJT in planting churches in the district targets 
• CPT lead their local churches in planting churches in their local targets.

Teams from other countries join SOS church planting teams in the Philippines each summer.

International teams are trained in SOS church planting methods. Then they join Filipino teams in Target Towns. They participate fully in SOS team activities, visiting homes, taking Bible Studies and relating to the people of the town. Filipino team members help with translation when more than English is needed.

To participate on an SOS team, you need to:

• be sure of God's leading to go
• be part of the team training
• pay your own expenses
• supply your Pastor's contact details for a reference.
