Lesson Summary

'After 10 years of ministry, this is what Paul wrote: “from Jerusalem and all the way around to Illyricum I have fulfilled the ministry of the gospel of Christ. . . there is no longer any room for work in these regions”. (Romans 15:19,23)'

Principles: A. Paul’s pattern:


 * He targeted places strategically.
 * Shared the gospel boldly. 
 * Discipled and empowered new leaders quickly.
 * Reproduced churches to reach out broadly.

B. He targeted regional centers


 * Then helped the locals expand to the area

C. He had 2 priorities


 * 1) Work night and day to win devoted followers
 * 2) * Persons of peace to persons of relationship
 * 3) * Thru witness, signs, life transformation
 * 4) Build new believers by helping them begin multiplying their witness and training

D. He planted the DNA of multiplying disciples

* He worked with his disciples in a weekly or daily process then moved on" ** Example - Imparted his LIFE to them - Philippians 3:17 ** Gave them a Pattern to follow (Romans 6:17, 2 Timothy 2:2)'


 * Encouraged a culture of boldness in the face of persecution


 * Church planting was done by witnessing Christians along the way

E. He raised up & trained emerging leaders/trainers


 * They were often new believers -Acts 14:23
