Overview

Are Church Planting Movements Real? Are they fabrications? How can we know? David Garrison (PhD, University of Chicago) set out to answer these questions by analyzing twenty-five years of onsite assessments of Church Planting Movements conducted by the Global Research Department of the Southern Baptist International Mission Board. This book pulls back the curtain on in-depth evaluations of twenty-eight reported movements from Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. The findings are surprising. Discover what is really happening in reported movements across Cuba, India, East Asia, Africa, and the Muslim world. Garrison was granted unprecedented access to previously unpublished onsite surveys of movements that claimed hundreds of thousands of new Christians and churches among the world's least-reached peoples. For the first time, this book opens the International Mission Board's archives, offering a behind-the-scenes look into the findings of one of the world's largest missionary organizations. What do hundreds of interviews, random samplings, and firsthand accounts reveal about one of the most significant issues in modern missions? Inside Church Planting Movements offers new insights into this long-debated subject and is essential reading for any Christian wanting to understand what is actually happening in the remotest corners of the world. It is the most extensive analysis of Church Planting Movements ever produced and promises to be an invaluable resource for students and practitioners of contemporary Christian missions.
