About The Way

Curious about The Way! Read on to learn more.

 

What exactly is The Way?

As a church planting movement, The Way trains everyday followers of Jesus to abide in Jesus Christ, enter the harvest field, sow the gospel, make disciples, gather as healthy churches, and release more trained labourers and leaders into the harvest field.

We are a network. Together we are labouring towards a “no place left” vision - where every region in New Zealand has trained, active missionaries, where disciples and churches are multiplying and where there is no place left to work.

What is a church planting movement?

A church planting movement is the rapid multiplication of indigenous churches, within a given people group or place. Church planting occurs as part of discipleship and is led by the local believers, not by outsiders. In a church planting movement, generations of disciples, leaders and churches are developed using simple, Biblical, reproducible principles and tools.

What is a “no place left” vision?

No place left means a sustained and multiplying gospel presence in every people and place.

What does training look like?

We use the tried and tested No Place Left training tools. These Biblically based, simple, reproducible tools are proving to bear fruit on in every continent of the world.

What is a healthy church?

Acts 2 describes the activities of a healthy church: baptism, obedience to the Word, loving fellowship, sharing the Lord’s supper, prayer, operating in supernatural power, financial generosity, gathering together, worshipping, going and making disciples. Church leadership is modelled on the leadership of the Lord Jesus, and the patterns and teachings of the apostles. Truly healthy churches are becoming mature and they multiply.

What do we believe?

It’s important to understand the truth about God, the Bible, mankind, Jesus Christ, salvation, the Holy Spirit, the Church, the devil, the Kingdom of God, eternal life.
