Charles A. Chilton, Planting the House Church,
Creates a reproducible method
The missionary should never do anything that is not reproducible in the lives of the people of that community. Your goal should be that the people will be evangelized, a church will be born, and God will call a pastor or pastors out of that group.
Underscore your servant role
One of the serious temptations to avoid is taking the position of an expert, an answer man, or a holy man from afar who can do all. You have a natural opportunity to take control of the group. But your role is to serve, to share with these people the Word of God. If you begin in a servant role and stay in it, you never have to reverse your field. (28-29)
