Strategic Church Planting

DAWN believes that the ultimate way of discipling a nation is to fill it with living groups of believers, this is: church in all its form, from "2 or 3 or 8 or 15" in a House Church via the classical 75 believers in a traditional church up to 20.000 in a Megachurch. The important thing is that churches take an "outward focus" and are prepared to multiply.

For a whole country or region, this requires

• a combined effort of the whole body of Christ, for no one church or denomination can take the task alone
• a strategic approach, birthed out of prayer and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This strategy will include planning in the classical sense, but also room for surprises and spontaneous outbursts of life.

In many cases, Christians have no clear idea what it means to work together and to plan strategically. Here are some basic articles on these matters.
