• From the perspective of church planting, the church begins with a cell.
• The leader trains one or, better yet, two new leaders.
• The cell divides
• The leader of the first cell becomes a supervisor/coach/deacon, who now takes care of his own cell and helps the second leader to divide his cell again
• Super organic process
• The coach helps the leader on a personal discipleship level (marriage, finances, relationships, life with God, accountability, etc.).
• Secondly, he coaches the leader in leading his cell (conflicts, management, strategy, planning, and accountability)
• Personal meetings or conversations → weekly
• Leader meetings can be every 14 days or monthly.
• At the beginning, the coach maintains direct contact with all leaders for as long as possible.
• He looks for a second coach who in turn should take care of up to 10 cell groups
• In the end, a biblical Jethro leadership structure emerges, as in Exodus 18:13-27.
• Moses appointed one over 1,000, 100, 50, and 10
• In this way, he shared, delegated, and decentralized the responsibility of leadership.
• This has the dual effect of enabling more leaders to exercise their gifts and grow as a result
• and secondly, more shepherds are closer to their sheep
