ESSENTIALS

In a recent Paperplus flyer I am reading on one page about “My stationary essentials”.

In a travel magazine I picked up not long ago I am told about the “TRAVEL ESSENTIALS FOR NEW ZEALAND”.

In a publication for missionaries I am reading about the minimal essentials  involved in church planting  in a crosscultural context.

At the moment I am not so much interested in stationary essentials and travel essentials, but I am always interested in the essentials involved in planting a church, no matter where it is. Why? Because I have been myself  involved in church planting in Thailand for thirteen years.

What are the essentials involved in church planting?

There are four minimal essentials:

First of all I had to learn the thai language.

Secondly I had to learn the thai culture.

Thirdly I had to build relationships.

And lastly I shared about the Lord Jesus Christ.
