Reviews"With over fifty years of international church-planting experience between the authors, readers would expect to find in Ott and Wilson's book an excellent grasp of the literature, some new models and strategies created out of research and their vast ministry experiences, practical ways to apply these strategies, and case studies to demonstrate them. This is exactly what you will get in Global Church Planting. Bypass this text at your own risk."--Tom Steffen, professor of intercultural studies, School of Intercultural Studies, Biola University"Craig Ott and Gene Wilson have produced a church planting text that is at once well researched, well written, amazingly comprehensive, and decidedly practical. Mission CEOs, seminary and college professors, practitioners at home and overseas--anyone and everyone committed to church-planting mission--should make sure that they have ready access to Global Church Planting. It's that good."--David J. Hesselgrave, professor emeritus of mission, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School"Global Church Planting is a wonderful, timely contribution to the church of Jesus Christ. For too long the mission world has sent out church planters without thinking deeply enough about the nature of the church. Ott and Wilson have gone a long way toward correcting this shortcoming and demonstrating how church planting is the nexus between the church and mission. Their discourse on the 'Three Types of Church Planters' is worth the price of the book alone. I heartily recommend this book for all those who love the church and want to see it grow and reproduce around the globe."--Charlie Davis, international director, The Evangelical Alliance Mission"In Global Church Planting, Ott and Wilson have established a masterful foundation for what is quite simply 'the most urgent business of mankind.' Thoroughly researched, carefully examined, biblically anchored, and skillfully presented, Global Church Planting provides an excellent introduction for anyone who yearns to see the kingdom expand throughout every nation, tribe, and tongue."--David Garrison, author, Church Planting Movements

SynopsisWith nearly fifty years combined global church-planting experience, Craig Ott and Gene Wilson are well qualified to write a comprehensive, up-to-date guide for cross-cultural church planting. Combining substantive biblical principles and missiological understanding with practical insights, this book walks readers through the various models and development phases of church planting. Advocating methods that lead to church multiplication, the authors emphasize the role of the missionary church planter. They offer helpful reflection on current trends and provide best practices gathered from research and empirical findings around the globe. The book takes up a number of special issues not addressed in most church planting books, such as use of short-term teams, partnerships, and wise use of resources. Full of case studies and real examples from around the world, this practical text will benefit students, church planters, missionaries, and missional church readers., Two cross-cultural experts combine substantive theological, historical, and biblical foundations for church planting with practical guidance in this up-to-date textbook.
