6. Assessment
Generational growth is critical to knowing how to reach a target group.
Problems of 2nd & 4th generation
Your yearly goal:
Invest in the most critical persons (SOILS) and highest value activities (BREED) that will move you forward 1-2 steps along the continuum.
What are the most critical elements?
Develop 6-12 month action plans to do this.

7. CPM Continuum Unsure – unsure of how to proceed toward CPM or no plan
Moving purposefully 0 to 1 – trying to consistently establish 1st generation believers & churches
Moving purposefully 1 to 2 – Consistent 1st & some 2nd gen churches
Near CPM - consistent 2nd, some 3rd gen churches
Beginning CPM - consistent 3rd gen churches, some 4th
Sustained CPM - consistent 4th generation churches; multiple streams are started

8. SOILS – Where to Invest Spirit – fervent prayer
Outsiders – to find persons of peace
Insiders – cast vision and train trainers
Leaders – multiply fruitful leaders
Segments – reach unreached segments

14. What would you do if…
There were 3rd generation churches planted and rapid growth
You launched a new church plant
You found a few hungry local believers and led a person of peace to the Lord
There are several POPs and national partners who are seeing people saved and groups established
There was 4th generation churches, widespread fruit, but lots of pastoral problems
There were several people coming to Christ, but you were having a difficult time following up
