What God Might Be Up to With the Simple Church
Movement

• Raising up leaders, missionaries, and trainers
  who can help change the heavy package models to
  release greater harvest
• Preparing a generation to live a more radical,
  24/7, Jesus-following lifestyle and infect the
  world with Jesus-Kingdom-movements
• Freeing up finances to flow into the neediest
  parts of the world

CPM Counter-Intuitive Principles

• Go slow to go fast
• Focus on the few (or one) to win many
• Share only when and where people are ready to
  hear
• A new/inexperienced insider is more effective
  than a highly trained, mature outsider
• Let the lost lead the Bible studies
• Disciple to conversion, not convert to make
  disciples
• Prepare to spend a long time but anticipate
  miracle accelerations
• The best time for a church to plant a new church
  is when it is new
• Relationally linked rather than corporately or
  organizationally bound.
