Developing a manual for church planting in an Arabic context

Abstract

This project is a pioneering work that develops a manual for church planting in an Arabic context. Chapter one explores the urgency for planting new churches in the unreached part of the world and identifies nations where the church is alive. Chapter two highlights the Scriptures supporting the theological framework of this project. Chapter three gives a literature review of significant works on church planting of insightful works on church planting; whereas, chapter four is the actual project design, the manual for church planting. The manual itself consists of three parts: vision, churches planting phases, and training and development. Through written exercises, group discussion, and workshop, potential church planters test their call, and investigate their gifts and passion, while developing Christian character. In like manner, chapter five evaluates what is going on now in church planting in the Arab World, and how the manual will enhance training in leadership.
