Steps towards Movement

or who can sit on your couch?

Steps to a Movement goes a step further.
Christians will learn the basic tools and proven principles for effective ministry to unbelieving individuals in the Bridges to People training. There they will learn how to lead a very interesting Bible reading that even unbelievers enjoy participating in, how to personally share the Good News, and many other practical suggestions, up to and including ministry to a completely new believer friend.

How the Apostle Paul Did It
The Apostle Paul only stayed in Thessalonica for a few weeks before he had to flee (Acts 17:1-10). Yet, he left behind a small church that spreads the Good News throughout Macedonia and Achaia (1 Thessalonians 1:6-9). It happened similarly in other places. Paul created a whole network of local communities and supported them remotely through his letters and sending collaborators.
We call this passing on of key principles to successive generations of new disciples a MOVEMENT.
When we succeed in inviting new interested ones into current churches, it is great. However, in our country there is a growing number of people, who have a sincere spiritual interest, even accept the Lord Jesus and begin to follow Him, however, they simply do not join current churches. This is what we hear from diligent ministers in Alpha courses and other evangelistic activities.
From repeated experience, we know that even with such people it is possible to naturally create new small informal communities that have all the functions of a biblical church. This does not mean that you should leave your church! On the contrary, you can become an extended hand for it that touches the lives of people that the church does not reach.

Steps to the Movement will help you practically
We will do:

• A short study:
  • What did the apostle Paul do that in a short time he reached such a large area with the gospel?
  • What functions did the first church.
• With prayers, we will look for waysto apply the discovered principles in our time, so that new communities with new people from outside can also be created around us.
• The meeting will include an experience of a house church, which is biblical and at the same time simple enough that you can start it with new people and, in the foreseeable future, quite new disciples.
• A network of mutual support is important in this..
• We will hear short stories from Czech experience.

Bring a partner
Your believing partner who is interested in the movement should also sign up for Steps to the Movement.
We invite also those who have participated in a similar meeting before!

• You will consolidate principles for building a movement that we shared before.
• You will hear fresh stories from Czech experience.
• Also, we look forward to your stories of what you have tried, what worked and what did not work (Acts 14:27).
• Again, there will be space for listening to the Lord Jesus and planning your own steps, as well as for agreeing on further support and cooperation.

Do you want to see a simple church with new disciples from outside around you? Do you want to see a movement where new followers of Jesus will gain more disciples and the next generations of simple churches will be created around you?
After the inspirational meeting Steps towards a Movement we offer you and your team practical help on your journey towards a simple church with your new people from outside.

  • By arrangement, we will look for a way to visit and encourage you and your team directly in the region where you operate.
  • You can start as two or three Christians, each of whom will contact their non-believing acquaintances.
  • We will help you create an informal church with new people from outside that you invite.
  • As for the place, your living room or, depending on the target group, a table in a cafe or pub is enough
• Remote support
  • You can experience the simple church with us virtually (on Zoom) for an agreed period of time; one evening a week, about two hours.

  • The virtual church on Zoom will be your prayer background and methodological support.
  • In addition, we will arrange ongoing telephone consultations exactly for your needs.
• Next meeting Steps to Movement
• We plan to hold another Steps to Movement meeting around the Czech Republic with roughly the same content. We will specify the dates and locations for those who have registered – write to us in the note that you are interested in further information.

• graduates of the Bridges to People training,
• disciples whom you will teach to serve unbelievers in the meantime,
• other believing partners who want to practice the key principles of the movement,
• those who have gone through the previous Steps to Movement and started something new with their people!
