CHURCH PLANTING MENTORING
Central to the Great Commission is the idea of planting new churches. But as any church planter knows there are countless difficulties involved in this endeavour. Many church planters feel cut off from the resources that will make them successful in the long term. Others wish they were more familiar with the best practices of church planting. Still others feel bewildered and discouraged when trying to untie a particularly difficult “knot” in a church plant. Forum Church Planting Mentoring has been designed to provide guidance to church planters who are struggling with issues such as these.
CHURCH PLANTING MENTORS
Daniel Goering came to faith shortly after finishing university and has invested his life in planting churches, first across the midwest of the U.S., then across Europe. He and his family (wife and now six children) started in Dortmund, Germany, and now live and serve near Cologne, Germany. They have been a part of seeing four German churches planted, which are led by nationals. He also coaches church-planting movements in Italy, Spain and Poland, in his capacity as Co-Director of Great Commission Europe.
Martin Robinson is Principal and Chief Executive of Springdale College: Together in Mission. He was born in India of missionary parents and then brought up in Scotland where his father was a church planter. In his early 20’s Martin trained for the ministry, and his first church was located in inner-city Birmingham. That multi-ethnic congregation engaged in church planting, and Martin and his wife, Lynda, went to lead one of those church plants. After 13 years in local ministry, he went to work for the Bible Society in a variety of roles. In his role as Director of Mission and Theology, and since, he has written many books on the broad theme of mission, including Faith of the Unbeliever and Invading Secular Space. In 2002 he joined Together in Mission as the National Director.
