RAD: Rapidly Advancing Disciples
Looking for a practical field-tested implementation of the principles found in Steve Smith and Ying Kai's book, T4T: A Discipleship Re-Revolution? Since 2006, Wilson Geisler's RAD (Rapidly Advancing Disciples) has been used by church planters from South Asia to South Africa to multiply healthy churches and disciples by going both deep and wide.
Drawing from Nathan and Kari Shank's, "The Four Fields" and Dr. Thom Wolf's "Universal Disciple", RAD offers biblical methods for all five parts of a church-planting plan in a way that allows each of the five parts to complement and build on the others. This recently updated version of RAD is based on input from both national and foreign church planters who have been successfully using it for many years.
Churchplantingmovements.com is pleased to offer RAD for your use at no cost. We are all in debt to Wilson Geisler for sharing this resource freely to expand the Kingdom of God and to make the knowledge of God's glory known across the entire earth.
