Your Seed Sowing Action Plan

 

Hello my brother; hello my sister, my name is Dean Davis, and this is a word of

encouragement for village church planters.

In your village church planting training center, you learned the four Seed Sower

Tools. You learned the reason you should make disciples is based on your

identity in Christ. You have been made new and you are an ambassador for

Christ. This is the first tool. The second tool tells you who to share the Good

News with. You create a relationship map showing people you know who are

far from God. Your relationship map helps you remember to pray for these

people for whom Christ died. The third tool reminds you of what to say. Now

you can share your testimony in 15 seconds and you can share the Good News

using three circles.

But what about the fourth tool? This tool can be a little bit intimidating. It is

an action plan. The fourth tool answers the question “When will I make

disciples?” Some people don’t like to make plans. They just take life as it

comes. They say this is a better, less stressful way to live. But people who do

not make plans do not accomplish much. King Solomon, a man filled with

wisdom from God, had some wise words for people who do not make plans. He

said in Provers 6:6-11:

"Go to the ant, you sluggard;

    consider its ways and be wise!

It has no commander,

    no overseer or ruler,

 yet it stores its provisions in summer

    and gathers its food at harvest.

How long will you lie there, you sluggard?

    When will you get up from your sleep?

 A little sleep, a little slumber,

    a little folding of the hands to rest—

 and poverty will come on you like a thief

    and scarcity like an armed man."

If you want to gather a spiritual harvest, you need to follow the example of the

ant. You need to make plans and take action now. We do not know what the

future holds, so we need to make plans to help people be restored to God now.

The Seed Sower Action plans simply asks four questions: When will you pray for

people on your relationship map? When will you share the Gospel? When will

you teach other people to use the Seed Sower Tools? And, when will you teach

other people to obey the Seven Basic Commands of Christ?

As a church planter, if you make plans each week to carry out each of these

four action steps, and then carry out your plan, you will bring in a great

harvest!

Don’t be afraid to make plans. Make plans in faith and trust God to work through you.
