I caught up with Barney via skype recently and talked to him about the qualities required to spark church planting movements.

He gave me four that he looks for:

1. Head: Knowing

2. Heart: Being

3. Hands: Doing

4. House: Relating

In this podcast he introduces the first one—Head: Knowing.

We'll work our way through the other three over the next few weeks.

Here's someone who knows a missionalary movement when he sees one. In this latest podcast I interview Jeff Sundell (of Bugger Hollow) about how he is applying the principles of fuelling church planting movements in North Carolina. It may be the South, but Jeff and his team are not targeting the Bible-belt, unless your concept of the Bible-belt includes drug dealers and prostitutes.

Five years ago I sat in on a vision retreat with Tim Scheuer (front left) and the leadership of the Church Army. God showed up. The team bought in. The rest is history.

Tim has stepped down as national leader and is now back on the frontline in one of the toughest suburbs in Sydney.

The third in a series of interviews with Tim Scheuer on what God is doing in Airds. You'll be encouraged and learn about multiplying disciples and churches in the real world.

Wherever I go, westerners tell me, "It won't happen here." Despite the impact of church planting movements in the developing world, they are a rarity in the western world. In the first of two interviews, I talk to Jeff Sundell about ten years experience in fueling church planting movements in Nepal. In the second interview, I talk to Jeff about how he is now applying those principles back in the USA.

Tim Scheuer has been baptizing new believers down at the Airds swimming pool in Sydney.

Looks like he'd better buy a season's ticket. Ten more people have come to faith in Christ in the last week.

Dave Lawton has been on a journey in three stages.

He has seen a church planting movement in India and Nepal. He has helped spark a church planting movement out of Crossway, one of Australia's largest suburban churches. Now he is making disciples and multiplying "simple churches" in some of the most needy regions of the city of Melbourne, Australia.

Over twenty churches have been planted in one of the most secular nations on earth.

His story is full of valuable insights for anyone on the journey of making disciples and multiplying churches.

Tim Scheuer is one of the few leaders applying the principles of church planting movements in the West. Here's an interview I did with Tim on how he transitioned back to the frontline.

Steve Addison talks to OnMovements about Movements.

Movements don't abolish the clergy. Instead, they ordain everyone for ministry.

Who killed the encyclopedia salesman? Dynamic movements are willing to change everything about themselves in the pursuit of their mission — except their core beliefs and convictions.
