The Four Fields Cycle

The goal of the Four-Fields Training (4FT) strategy is to serve local believers and church leaders by providing training in evangelism, short-term discipleship, and church formation following the Four Fields method for multiplying a church planting movement. The 4FT strategy is characterized by being biblical, simple, and reproducible. These are not definitive lessons on the Christian life, but easily communicated stories focused on how the early Christians went from a small group of believers to a movement that spread throughout the entire world. The 4FT strategy takes a unique solutions approach as it seeks to develop a culturally relevant program of training that connects with each cultural context. 4FT is a key strategy for achieving a sustainable and growing church planting movement.
