2005/02/21Scott Parrish--Asian Access1 Unlocking Church Growth in Japan

2005/02/21Scott Parrish--Asian Access2 The Key: Biblical Growth requires Personal Evangelism! “Professional Evangelism” alone won’t do it!

2005/02/21Scott Parrish--Asian Access3 Outline 1. Personal Evangelism is God’s plan for Kingdom growth. 2. Miraculous growth is possible from Personal Evangelism. 3. Challenge YOU to take Leadership for Personal Evangelism.

2005/02/21Scott Parrish--Asian Access4 What the Bible says about Kingdom Growth  “How can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?” Romans 10:14  The PATTERN of Growth-- Jesus described Kingdom Growth as seeds producing more seeds.

2005/02/21Scott Parrish--Asian Access5 Different Kinds of Growth Patterns This one is the Biblical growth pattern! Example 1 Exponential Growth Example 2 Linear Growth -- Declining Growth Rate

2005/02/21Scott Parrish--Asian Access6 Source: Church Information Service, 2003 annual count Recent Size and Growth Rates

2005/02/21Scott Parrish--Asian Access7 Growth Projections

2005/02/21Scott Parrish--Asian Access8 Members -- All Protestant Churches Source: Kirisuto Shinbunsha Nenkan CONCLUSION: Lack of Personal Evangelism!

2005/02/21Scott Parrish--Asian Access9 God’s Desire “The Lord is... not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9

2005/02/21Scott Parrish--Asian Access10 Outline 1. Personal Evangelism is God’s plan for Kingdom growth. 2. Miraculous growth is possible from Personal Evangelism. 3. Challenge YOU to take Leadership for Personal Evangelism.

2005/02/21Scott Parrish--Asian Access11 An Example Target  1 Church per 1,000 population.  Number of Christians will be 7% of the population.  Annual Growth Rate Target = 12%.  Do it in 25 years.

2005/02/21Scott Parrish--Asian Access12 New Churches and New Christians Needed

2005/02/21Scott Parrish--Asian Access13 Professional Evangelism Strategy Workload -- for each of the 10,000 Professionals

2005/02/21Scott Parrish--Asian Access14 Personal Evangelism Strategy  Disciple and train lay Christians to witness.  Develop witnessing techniques.  Encourage witnessing goals.

2005/02/21Scott Parrish--Asian Access15 Personal Evangelism Strategy  Rocky Soil Ratio -- assume 1 response from 25 witnesses. ?  Required average number of witnesses per year for each Christian = 3!

2005/02/21Scott Parrish--Asian Access16 Miracle of Kingdom Growth IF:  Rocky Soil ratio as bad as 25 to 1,  Every Christian will witness to 3 each year (on the average),  The new Christians also witness to 3 each year (on the average) THEN:  8,840,000 new children of God.  Christians will be 7% of population.  25 years, instead of 1,000 years.

2005/02/21Scott Parrish--Asian Access17 The Parable of the Growing Seed “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how.” Jesus Christ. Mark 4:26-27

2005/02/21Scott Parrish--Asian Access18 Outline: 1. Personal Evangelism is God’s plan for Kingdom growth. 2. Miraculous growth is possible from Personal Evangelism. 3. Challenge YOU to take Leadership for Personal Evangelism.

2005/02/21Scott Parrish--Asian Access19 A Suggested Program for Mission Leaders 1. Make developing Personal Evangelism a main part of your Mission’s strategy. 2. Develop methods for Personal Evangelism. 3. Challenge and encourage National Church leaders to take leadership. 4. Train Christians in Personal Evangelism. 5. Constantly encourage Personal Evangelism.

2005/02/21Scott Parrish--Asian Access20 Encouragement! There IS rocky soil. Jesus said so -- this is normal! God promises growth in spite of that-- If we are obedient to sow the seed, He will take care of the growth (Parable of the Growing Seed). Even if there is a LOT of rocky soil, achieving 7% in 25 years requires only a FEASIBLE and COMFORTABLE witness from each Christian.
