The church will continue to manifest the Kingdom of Heaven locally through the planting new local churches in new target areas. The planting of a new local church is a visible sign of our domination and advancement of the Kingdom of Heaven in a locality or territory held hostage by the devil and his army of evil spirits. The power of the local church comes from the Head of the Church himself, The Lord Christ, The King of Heaven and Earth. The philosophy of the HeadofTheChurchuniversalhastobetaughtandmanifest in the local churches through the lives of her members for they will prepare her members for the final manifestation of the Kingdom Culture in the New Earth. This philosophy exhibits the values, character, and intent of the Lord Himself. Church planting is an exciting work. It works as we partner with the Holy Spirit in bringing the Good News about the Lord Jesus Christ to a new Target Area, and a new Target Group. It could be in the same locality whether there has already been an existing local church. This is known as an "Un evangelized Area" or "Unevangelized Group". It can also be a new area or people where there is no known Christian witness. This is known as "Unreached Area" or Unreached People". It could also be a new area whether there is an 1 PRACTICAL MISSION Unreached People group, speaking a different language, and practicing a different culture. This is what I called "Cross Border Unreached Area" or "Cross Cultural Unreached People". The whole work of church planting comes under the domain of Mission as commanded in the Great Commission. There are three significant aspects of church planting that a new and aspiring church planter needs to consider. They are 1.) Revelation (from the Word of God); 2.) Research (Scientific Observation regarding Church Planting in Mission; 3.) Reflection (Thinking through clearly what God's intent is regarding our plan for church planting). These three significant aspects must be carried out in order to form the base for any planned Missional Work that is focused on church planting. This study is meant to help you in considering these essential elements of church planting and Mission in general. These are not new as they were used by the Apostle Paul himself during his Missional Work in Asia Minor. What we will be doing in this study is detailing the task, and using Paul's work as a guide, with the leading of God's Holy Spirit, and other passages in the Scripture, to give us a better ground in applying these Missional principles to the present. I pray that you will enjoy and be blessed as we walk through these lessons with the guidance of God's Holy Spirit, as much as I am blessed in putting it together.
