“This training manual has been a turning point in my ministry. After getting to know and understand what God wants from me as a church planter, I now follow the plan of God. He is building His church today from district to state and from state to another country. I recommend all church planters to know the plan of God for building His church. This manual can help you discover that plan.”

—Santosh Makal, Church Planter, West Bengal, India, and Bangladesh

“Your manual is clear, complete, and useful. We train church planters in Ho Chi Minh City with this manual.”
