This study attempts to be an exhaustive analysis of the dynamics of developing sustained
church planting movements in Asian nations, based on lessons learned in the 2004-2005
NEXT conferences in East Asia. Principles are being discovered and methodologies developed
in East Asia on how to build sustained church planting movements around the world.
To understand these, consolidate learning, and apply that learning in a variety of crosscultural
ministry contexts, a series of conferences were hosted by my wife and myself. Eight
week-long ”NEXT conferences” were held, consisting of sixty experienced strategy coordinators
plus eleven regional supervisors, to wrestle with these issues. This paper is based on
the findings of these conferences; specifically, that there are divine principles and particular
methodologies which enable missionaries to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in developing
sustained church planting movements that saturate ethno-linguistic people groups and cities
of Asia, and ultimately, the rest of the world. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology) / M.Th. (Missiology)
