ABSTRACT
That Jesus could so naturally and so powerfully showcase his organizational acumen is worthy of praise. Paul, following in the footsteps of Jesus, punctuated how powerful Jesus’ church planting principles were and the impact that results from following them. It can be seen variously as a table, a 3 × 4 matrix, or a toolbox, depending on how one wants to use it. It is a table if one wants to have an overview of Jesus’ impact model. It is a 3 × 4 matrix if one wants to break it down into leadership modules. It is a toolbox if one wants a picture of how to plant a church. Alternatively, it could be used as a diagnostic for consulting, or as a coach’s checklist for encouraging a planter. In any of these cases, an organizational framework is provided by which a class, a training curriculum, or a boot camp can be created.
