CPM: To Infinity and Beyond

4th Generation and Beyond

4g+ by Stan Parks

This post comes from a series of conclusions of a group of 38 key CPM trainers who are  working all over the world and are connected to over 80 CPMs. These conclusions are  good clues as to what the Holy Spirit is doing around the world in these movements. As you read each post, use these as opportunities prayerfully to evaluate your own ministry. Closing: The group took some time to write down thoughts on MOST IMPORTANT things heard   A lot about “letting go” – not all groups, disciples, leaders, will reproduce so let some go.  Investing deeply in those we work with – to relationship with God, family, workers, character issues. Mentoring not only “giving” but mentor is also receiving info and being vulnerable to those he is mentoring. Multiplying “nurture”.  Avoid slowing down reproduction - mentor new mentors to equip next generations        Matt 10:8 - real disciple freely receives & freely gives creating a counter-traditional Christian culture      5.   Importance of graphing out what is going on - evaluating and diagnosing for growth      6.  We all start out ministries with high levels of intentionality, but we don’t always adjust the machine        as it works out into the future.  We must keep that level of intentionality.  We should not “coast” on a        system established.
