SIX CRITICAL FACTORS FOR A MULTIPLYING MINISTRY<br />

217<br />

5th Critical Factor: GENERATING LEADERS AND LEADERSHIP<br />

When studying the book of Acts (especially from Acts 13 to 20), notice<br />

the ministry of the mobile apostolic teams and the local expressions of the<br />

church; both working to advance the missionary task. They were independent,<br />

yet interdependent. Neither one could do the work without the other. From<br />

the epistles, we read the letters from Paul, Peter and John to growing churches.<br />

What is needed:<br />

• Interdependence between the apostolic pioneers and local leaders<br />

• Spiritual Parenting and the developing of local leaders<br />

• Ensuring the strengthening of churches and the advance of the Gospel<br />

Questions:<br />

3. How do you see the process of entrusting “the good deposit” (2 Timothy1:14;<br />

2:2) to local leaders?
