INTRODUCTION Mighty Wave Church Planting Movement in Asia

WHAT IS CHURCH PLANTING MOVEMENT? It is a Holy Spirit controlled process of rapid multiplication of indigenous churches within a specific people group, so that every individual in that specific people group will have the opportunity to hear and respond to the Good News of the Lord Jesus Christ

FINDING THE MEN OF PEACE Finding the men of Peace is following the Principle of Luke 10:1-9 After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.

"When you enter a house, first say, 'Peace to this house.' If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you. Stay in that house, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house. "When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is set before you. Heal the sick who are there and tell them, 'The kingdom of God is near you.‘
