(From Movements.net). STEVE ADDISON is a catalyst for movements that multiply disciple and churches, everywhere. He is an author, speaker, podcaster, and mentor to movement pioneers. In a recent publication from “Movements”, he gives an example of an average couple in New Zealand who wanted to make a real difference in their community by making more Kingdom disciples in their home nation. They received their training by listening to Addison’s podcasts, reading the blogs, and receiving the training found on Movements website. Here is their story about “7 Lessons on Getting Started in New Zealand”. Their names are Nick and Sarah.

Find your tribe. God connected them with others on the same journey — some in front, some behind, some alongside.
Follow the fruit. They went out looking for lost sheep and found them. Nick and Sarah have fresh stories of disciples made and churches formed. The gospel is spreading from person to person and from place to place.
Nick and Sarah know what the future looks like — “Stories like these in every region of New Zealand.” You can read their story on the by clicking on the link below:
