What Are You Aiming For?
What fruit do you hope to see as a result of your ministry?
![Page 3: POUCH CHURCHES Modified. What Are You Aiming For? What fruit do you hope to see as a result of your ministry?](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c985503460f9495368c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
*What exactly is your ministry?
Strategic thinking & planning ? Equipping others for ministry? Modeling ? Mobilizing ? Enabling? Evangelizing & discipling ? Planting a church ?
![Page 4: POUCH CHURCHES Modified. What Are You Aiming For? What fruit do you hope to see as a result of your ministry?](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c985503460f9495368c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
*Is your aim correct?
![Page 5: POUCH CHURCHES Modified. What Are You Aiming For? What fruit do you hope to see as a result of your ministry?](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c985503460f9495368c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Think More Broadly
We must begin to think in terms of what needs to be done
rather than
what we can do personally.
![Page 6: POUCH CHURCHES Modified. What Are You Aiming For? What fruit do you hope to see as a result of your ministry?](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c985503460f9495368c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Your Goal Complete
evangelization of whatever group you are working among!
Nothing less than a true church planting movement among the people group !!

What Are You Doing Now?
Is the way you spend your time, the way you conduct your ministry now, in line with what you claim you are wanting to happen?
Will your intended outcome result from your current ministry?
If not, what do you need to change?
![Page 8: POUCH CHURCHES Modified. What Are You Aiming For? What fruit do you hope to see as a result of your ministry?](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c985503460f9495368c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
*Why not re-visit your goal?
1. Consider what your vision would look
like if it were fulfilled.2. Consider what it would take to get there.3. Work backwards, step by step, to your
present situation.4. Take the necessary actions to retrace the
steps forward through time to your goal.

Winning Individuals/Planting Churches
Winning individuals is
not the same as
Planting churches.

not the same as
Planting horse churches.

have? Where will they meet?
* What questions might you need to describe the church among your people group?
![Page 18: POUCH CHURCHES Modified. What Are You Aiming For? What fruit do you hope to see as a result of your ministry?](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c985503460f9495368c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
P.O.U.C.H. Churches
Participative discussion characterizes Bible teaching. It centers on application.
Obedience to Scripture by members and the group is the measure of success.
Unpaid, often semi-literate lay people co-lead.
Cell groups or small independent churches of about 15 members are usual.
Houses or storefronts are typical meeting places.

Intimate settings for effective accountability Assured involvement A doable leadership task A measure of security A true spiritual family with a high sense of
mutual concern

*What is one major tool for establishing your “ideal” church ?
The most important tool for establishing your “ideal” church is
modeling.
![Page 28: POUCH CHURCHES Modified. What Are You Aiming For? What fruit do you hope to see as a result of your ministry?](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c985503460f9495368c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Model Patterns
In Bible studies, praying and singing. (*Discipleship is not a body of knowledge to teach, it is a series of processes or concepts to be modeled.)
By entrusting new converts to the Lord. By teaching that Biblical concepts are the
same for all people. By teaching that they have the same Holy
Spirit guiding and indwelling their lives.
![Page 29: POUCH CHURCHES Modified. What Are You Aiming For? What fruit do you hope to see as a result of your ministry?](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c985503460f9495368c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Model Patterns
By involving believers in shared leadership from day of baptism
By allowing new leaders to lead in new group meetings.
In all discipling and training situations

Model patterns with new churches
At the macro level when planting a church
Provide assistance when asked
Don’t give opinions; go to Scripture
Observe from a distance to ensure that reproduction occurs
Leave to begin new work elsewhere
![Page 46: POUCH CHURCHES Modified. What Are You Aiming For? What fruit do you hope to see as a result of your ministry?](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c985503460f9495368c/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
The Most Common Mistake
Developing a dependence upon the church planter rather than on the Lord• Over assisting!• Inappropriate modeling!• Not observing! Observing ensures they
do things the same way the CPer did.
Dependence causes exiting never to occur!
![Page 47: POUCH CHURCHES Modified. What Are You Aiming For? What fruit do you hope to see as a result of your ministry?](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c985503460f9495368c/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Jazz Chants
“Model, assist, watch and leave…”
“Modeling is great if you do things right...”
“Assist means help;don’t get in the way...”
“Watch means observe: best done from afar...”
“Leave means go! Just get out of there...”
“Just model, assist, watch and leave...”

To SUMMARIZE:
REALIZE your goal is important because it determines
what is done who does it how they do it, and when they do it.
![Page 49: POUCH CHURCHES Modified. What Are You Aiming For? What fruit do you hope to see as a result of your ministry?](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032517/56649c985503460f9495368c/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
To SUMMARIZE:
MOBILIZE the necessary people and resources to accomplish your goal.
Do not be limited by what you can personally do.
Do whatever it takes under Christ.
