To be faithful in the mission that Christ has given to his church, we need to be deliberate and intentional in planting self-governing churches. It is one thing to respond to requests from people to plant works where there is need, but there is need for our churches to be intentional in targeting strategic areas that need healthy, biblical churches.

Pastors Conrad Mbewe (Kabwata Baptist Church) and Phil Hunt (Kitwe Church) detail the history of the Reformed Baptist church planting initiatives in Zambia in recent decades.

The conference also featured messages from Phil Hunt (Kitwe Church), Sammy Leballo (Moletsane Baptist Church), Mario Maneville (Reformed Faith Mission Community Church), Conrad Mbewe (Kabwata Baptist Church), and Tyrell Haag (Heritage Baptist Church).

Conrad Mbewe is a pastor at Kabwata Baptist Church in Lusaka, Zambia, while Phil Hunt is a pastor at Kitwe Church in Kitwe, Zambia.

The Need for Discomfort in Church Planting (Acts 1:8)

Sola 5 Conference 2018

If church revitalisation is like raising the dead (a difficult task by anyone’s standard—except Christ’s!), church planting is like giving birth (easier, perhaps, but still painful and labourious). Still, like childbirth, church planting can be difficult, messy, noisy, and worrying but it is worth it in the long run. In fact, the New Testament argues that there is something of a need for discomfort in church planting.

Scripture References: Acts 1:8

From Series: "Sola 5 Conference 2018"

The sermons in this series were preached at the 2018 annual Sola 5 Conference hosted by BBC. The theme of the Conference was “Partnered to Plant,” and the messages focused on the need for churches to associate with one another in church planting and revitalisation efforts.
