Exercise

Following the five levels of multiplication, Bishop Ric Thorpe discusses practical ways to become a church-planting church.

1. What inspires you about multiplication? Is it important to you? Why or why not?

2. How can you encourage disciple making and multiplication around you and in your church?

3. Have you thought about planting in your parish? How can you call more people into church planting?

4. Do you feel called to plant or revitalise a church in a nearby parish?
