8 Key Lessons since iCON 2010

Steve Smith

1) Heart & 4 Fields Framework

►A basic skeletal FRAMEWORK of the most essential components for CPMs Leaving out any can slow down or stop

the work Extraneous efforts can distract the work

►Allows endless morphing of plans/methods without losing the principles

Heart & 4 Fields Framework►Find God-Prepared Fields (People)

through bridges to the gospel (sow a lot!)

►Reproducing Evangelism►Reproducing Discipleship

Short-term – 8-10 simple lessons; 3/3 process

Long-term – inductive Bible Study►Reproducing Churches / groups (Acts

2:37-47)►Reproducing Leaders (Titus 1:5-9, Acts

14:23)Reproducing Generation by Generation (4+ Generations = the key to a movement)

2) Six-Stage CPM Continuum & Coaching

►The basic STAGES that a CPM goes through

►Coaching teams where they get stuck along the way Everyone gets stuck at 1) a part of the 4

fields or 2) a generation We focus on pushing through “stuckages” We ask, “What 1-2 things are most

important to help you move to the next stage?”

The 6-Stage CPM Continuum► Helping every team that is engaging be effectively moving

forward along the CPM Continuum. ► 1 - Unsure – unsure of how to proceed toward CPM or

no plan► 2 – Moving purposefully 0 to 1 – trying to consistently

establish 1st generation believers & churches 2.5 - 0 to 1 with 1st gen believers/groups already

► 3 – Moving purposefully 1 to 2 – Consistent 1st & some 2nd gen churches

► 4 – Near CPM - consistent 2nd, some 3rd gen churches► 5 – Emerging CPM - consistent 3rd gen churches,

some 4th► 6 – Sustained CPM - consistent 4th generation

churches; multiple streams are started

3) 70-80% Effectiveness Principle

►My estimate based on observation: 20-30% of effectiveness comes from

training 70-80% comes from coaching / follow-up

after training►E.g. Sending of 12 and 70

►Without the coaching, many teams give up on the training they received Coaching helps you work through the

reality of stuckages Especially important with T4T

4) Coaching National Partners

►Finding and equipping nationals continues to remain paramount in getting to CPM

►The 70-80% Rule is even more critical with national partners They must be coached through the 4

fields generation by generation T4T is a good example

►We must coach beyond the first tier of leadership

5) Houses of Peace – Lk 10:5-9►Getting to groups of believers:

Win a person of peace and coach him to win his household

Win a group together (e.g. discovery Bible study)►Key to 2nd Generation: Within minutes or

hours, do TWO things – FOLLOW & FISH1. FOLLOW: Baptize & Help them Count the Cost2. FISH

► WHY - Give them VISION (“you & household”)► WHOM - NAME LIST – List their oikos. Coach them. ► HOW - PROCLAMATION – Testimony; coach them on

contextually appropriate gospel witness

Houses of Peace► Who initiated the salvation

of the household?► How did the household

come to faith? Which were 2nd generation?

► When were they baptized?► What impact did the POP &

HOP have?► Give a brief profile of the

Person of Peace► What lessons can we

apply in winning households of peace?

1. Cornelius: Acts 10:1-11:182. Sam woman: Jn 4:7-423. Levi: Lk 5:27-32, Mk 2:14-

174. Jailer: Acts 16:23-345. Zaccheus: Lk 19:1-106. Lazarus: Jn 11:1-46, 12:9-

117. Demoniac: Mk 5:1-20; 7:31

/ Mt 15:29-318. Lydia: Acts 16:14-15, 409. Corinth: Acts 18:4-11; 1

Cor 1:14-17, 16:15-18

6) Emphasis on “Abnormal People”

►Finding breakthrough people who do not respond “normally” but “abnormally”

7) Adapting the T4T Process►Every CPM employs processes similar

to T4T►If people do not adapt T4T to their

context, they give up on it►Above all, retain the 3/3 process –

giving believers the confidence and competence to win and train others to start new generations

►Come up with your own T4T adaptation and call it what you want

8) Church Circles to help groups become churches
