About This Course

What is a Fruitful Practice?

“Fruitful Practices” are activities and behaviours which multiple church planters have discovered are effective at producing the spiritual fruit of new believers, healthy discipleship communities and reproducing fellowships of believers.

This course is based on the realities of experience of hundreds of field workers, and on the foundation of scripture. Although the research was done among people working in Muslim societies, the principles are applicable to most pioneer church planting situations.

The principles explained here are not a set of formulas to follow. Rather, they should be applied to your situation using your own first-hand knowledge of local conditions. Prayerfully adapt them to your own context.

The themes of fruitfulness taught in this course include how to relate to society, to seekers, to believers, to leaders, to God, to communication methods, to teams and how to relate to churches.
