Michelle and I have just returned from a visit to Malaysia.
After a five day road trip we met up with CRM workers from around the globe. A growing band of them are keen to fuel church planting movements.
For their benefit and yours, here’s a list of resources that will get you started in understanding the CPM paradigm.

Thank you for all the resources, Steve! I’m devouring this stuff.
Hi Steve,
I’m just starting to get a feel for the extent and potential for church planting movements after reading some recent material for an assignment I’m doing on transforming a church and leadership into a ‘contextually missional church’ . The church I’ve chosen to write on is a Baptist church of around 150 members in Western Brisbane. Could I ask you (if you have the time only) for a few suggestions how to excite them (they are interested in planting churches – albeit very slowly) and transition them into a church planting church.
Thanks and regards,
Ray Do Rozario
