		Beyond Total Church&#8230;Starting a movements.</p>
<p>		- Planting one church at a time is NOT enough. It’s a drop in the ocean.<br />
		- Must create a model of church that is reproducible. (no building, professional clergy)<br />
		- Can we start a church planting movement? No&#8230;movement can’t be controlled. They are works of God</p>
<p>		The Model of mission is supernatural.<br />
		- All movements start with prayer.<br />
		- Prayer is our primary missional activity.<br />
		- Prayer needs to be an instinctive response to an opportunity or problem.<br />
		- Our role is to find people who are open to the gospel. And spend less time on people who are not.<br />
		- We must engage in spiritual warfare.<br />
		- Everyday reliance on God.<br />
		- We need to put God’s reputation on the line.<br />
		- Total Church was meeting 3 days of week for prayer.</p>
<p>		The Model Of Living is Martyrdom</p>
<p>		- We need a model of discipleship that begins with martyrdom.<br />
		- We need to move from incremental discipleship to &#8220;think about what happens when you become a Christians you might die discipleship.&#8221; <br />
		-  Martyrdom is a lifestyle-must take up the cross and carry it. It’s a call to die. Must be cross-centered.<br />
		- Must give people a vision for the resurrection of Christ.</p>
<p>		The Model Of Church is Reproducible.</p>
<p>		- Everyone should be able to do it.<br />
		- We should not complain if people don’t start churches if they are not able. (not everyone can speak well, raise lots of money etc)<br />
		- Must incorporate new converts rapidly.<br />
		- We need a more apostolic approach to leadership.</p>
