Indigenous Movements: How People are Reached

Introduction

What is the most fruitful way to “reach the unreached”?

• Shall we work toward just one or more growing congregations?
• Should we aim for a minimal percentage to become believers?
• Or shall we seek an indigenous movement of multiplying ekklesia?

This goal of indigenous movements must shape our methods.

“Indigenous movements empower the lost to join a worshiping community of their own people without embracing western theology, traditions, culture or individualism.”
