I’ve made it to Singapore for a Movements workshop and some meetings with practitioners of church planting movements from around the world.
I should have plenty to write about next week.
I’m staying at the YMCA. Here’s a sign outside my door banning cigarettes and durians. If you’ve never tasted or smelt a durian you haven’t lived.

New Zealand tour
24 February, 2010 – 8:19 PM
Here I am working hard on Auckland Harbour in preparation for a tour of New Zealand.
Thanks to Ian for making it possible. Although next time I’ll skip lunch before I go sailing. Most of it ended up in the harbour.
Interview with Jay (1)
14 January, 2010 – 12:47 PM
A few years ago I was interviewed by Jay Lorenzen of Campus Crusade. Jay published the audio, now thanks to Sue, here’s the transcript.
Jay: Tell us a little bit about your work with Church Resource Ministries?
Steve: I’ve been with CRM since 1992 and my main work is in coaching and equipping church planters and in [...]
Out of here

Until further notice, Michelle and I will be on a beach somewhere. . .
We’re hooking up the camper-trailer and are wandering off to find a national park somewhere on the South Australian coast.
I’ve set a few post to drop while we’re away.

Evangelism training
12 November, 2009 – 12:33 PM
I’m in London this week. It reminded me of an amazing train journey I experienced almost twenty years ago.
It was 1990. We were between church plants. I was in England learning what I could before we dived back in to ministry.
As the London train approached Leeds station I looked right at the backpacker about to [...]
An interview with Ed Stetzer

Why did you write Movements that Change the World?
A number of reasons. As a church planter I remember hearing Peter Wagner say, “Starting new churches is the most effective form of evangelism under the sun.” I thought if that’s true, then starting church planting movements could be even more effective.
I dived in to some church [...]
How Movements got published
10 August, 2009 – 8:44 AM
Five years ago I drafted a book based on what I had learned about movements from a decade of observation and study. Six publishers considered the draft and six publishers rejected the draft. No one was interested. At least, not interested in reading what I had written. I was confused. Everywhere I went to speak [...]
How I wrote Movements
8 August, 2009 – 10:27 PM
A very long time ago, just after Michelle and I were married, Michelle asked me, “Do you have any dreams you’d like to accomplish one day?
From out of nowhere I told her, “I’m going to write a book one day.” Until that moment I had never thought about writing a book. I didn’t even know [...]
