“The spontaneous expansion of the Church reduced to its elements is a very simple thing. It
asks for no elaborate organization, no large
finances, no great numbers of paid missionaries.”
-- Roland Allen, Spontaneous Expansion
![Page 17: Biblical Church Planting: Reflections and Realities in the 21 st Century](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813d50550346895da70b61/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
“One man who is able to plant a church so modeled that very few ever could approximate his success is not thinking world evangelization. He is
near-sighted. There may be room for unique models which are not
reproducible, but if the world is to be reached, it will be by multiplication
and not by addition.”
-- Charles Brock, Indigenous Church Planting, 126.

missionary, or else we must acknowledge that there is in his work that quality of universality.”
