I have used this as I have talked to potential team members and potential church planters overseas. I will write more on this soon but we have to obviously take into account the culture and type/model of church plant. We have to know what we are looking for in order to identify the necessary competencies. I also think that overseas it may look more informal than it is in the States. It could happen quite naturally in the discipleship of a person. It can also happen naturally from a sending church who is involved in identifying and affirming potential church planters. Thanks for your comment. I totally agree. I have used this as I have talked to potential team members and potential church planters overseas.

I wish we would incorporate this type of questioning when we're talking with potential church planters. I used this at Starbucks and it was an excellent way of getting past "beliefs" into actions. It's one thing to ask someone about their beliefs on starting a ministry it's a totally different thing to ask about when they started one. Excellent post.
