Everyday Means of Communication in a Church Planting Movement

Abstract

Whether Christianity is relatively unknown in the region or if it is simply that a particular group of Christians is small and insignificant, one issue faced by church planters is that of becoming known. This thesis will explore how everyday means of communication can help church planters become known and facilitate church planting movements. It will define everyday means of communication and consider how past Christians such as the Apostle Paul and Martin Luther used everyday means of communication in their ministries. It will then look at current means of communication such as modern forms of social media, and study how Facebook can be used to identify and recruit potential church planters in Latin America.
