Planting: Multiplying Missional Cells Central Region :|: IVCF USA

FRAMEWORK
The Why and What of Cell Planting Goals * To communicate the theological and missiological basis for cell planting * To present the cell paradigm Primary Luke 10.1-12- Jesus Sends the 72 - Jesus strategy for rapid multiplication of new missional communities - More Laborers = More harvest Scripture Alternates Mark 3.13-19- Jesus Appoints the 12 Mark 4.1-20- The Parable of the Sower Jeremiah 29.1-14- Exiles and Missionaries Gods Grassroots Mission Genesis 1-2 Matthew 28:16-20 Primary Cell Paradigm A community | following Jesus | into mission | on campus Cell Flywheel (Intro) Every Corner of the Campus Exercise * Individually, or in groups, take some time to try and estimate just how many unique people groups exist on your campus (e.g., teams, clubs, living situations, majors, etc.) * If you were charged with getting one cell planted in every people group on campus (i.e., campus saturation), how would you do it? Alternates The Power of Math-- Addition vs. Multiplication Going Viral Experience Biology 101-- DNA, Cells, Organs, and Organisms (Elizabeths notes here) Central Region 2020 Vision Conversion Continuum (Missional conversion) Reection * If you were asked to present a biblical case for Gods multiplicative vision, what passages would you use? * How would you describe Gods multiplicative vision in a couple sentences? Choose a form of natural multiplication (e.g., a farm eld, fruit, tree, bacteria, animals, etc.) and spend some time in prayerful meditation, considering what God might be saying to you through his creation.

FOUNDATION
Grounding our Cells in Prayer and Worship Goals * Help students lay a spiritual foundation for their work of cell planting Primary Genesis 12.1-9- Abram responds to Gods Promise - Gods outlandish promise to Abram - Abrams rst response is to worship Alternates Ezra 3.1-13- Creating a place of worship Numbers 13.17-25- Caleb, Joshua, and the Spies Primary Planting Prayer Walk (CP 2.03-2.04) Asking and Listening Open to interruptions Foundation of Worship Exercise Discerning Key Locales for Prayer (Spiritual Strongholds) Listening Prayer, Intercession, and Worship Debrieng and Sharing Alternates Treasure Hunting Pop and Prayer Campus Scouting/Assessment-- Spying out the Land Missionary Shoes experience * Spend time remembering/sharing some of the Ebenezers from your past--key moments when God met you in your moment of need. How has God been faithful to you in the past? What promises has he given you for the future? * Why do you think its important to start with a foundation of prayer and worship? What dierence might it make down the road? Once you have clarity on where God is inviting you to plant your cell, lay a foundation of prayer and worship in that place. Consider doing a prayer walk through the area, or for the next week, do your quiet time in various places throughout the planting context as a way of dedicating yourself to the LORD-- Even if no one else follows me, I will follow you in this place. Consider marking your time by building some kind of tangible Ebenezer, which means stone of remembrance. * Pete Greig talks on Exodus 17, John 15, and Mark 11 * Spying out the Land worksheet (CP 1.04) * CP Manual Appendix 2 * Missionary Identity from Cells 101 @ Catalyst 2011 (Danley) * New Tribes Mission Video (From Cells 101)- http://usa.ntm.org/videos-pics/

Comments from Cell Beta Call * Lots of overlap with planting manual (this is good) * Applications take dierent amounts of time (some might not be fruitful/viable in a week) * Audience-- for current leaders or for brand new leaders? * GIG training * Perhaps too advanced for 1st timers (maybe GIG training would be more appropriate here?) * Seeing all six-macro things are helpful * Does Core create confusion because its not actually talking about the missional core of the cell? Something else here --> Momentum? * Same thing with Gathering? --> Invitation, and then bringing others into * Core is a big section --> bulk of our training actually happens here * Invitation section really needs to include both vision-centric and event/meeting centric--have two goals * thoughtful invitation * core could include Training on each of the three interior circles, and the arrows out * Multiple versions of the ywheel (one as a grid for each meeting, one with a longer duration) * Semester planning resources in core section, related to cell ywheel (managing momentum) * Application for Framework could be more of a personal, missional calling --> missionary calling * Doing both general missional calling and why cells? in that rst section * II Timothy 2 for Multiplication; Elijah/Elisha * Matthew 28.16-20 for Framework * Gods grassroots vision for framework--more of a survey approach for framework? * Acts 1.8 * Luke 9 --> Luke 10 (sending of the 12 and sending the 72)
