(coming soon!)Strategic Planning for the future of
Church Planting and Evangelism in France
Columbia International University
Scholarship Program for Raphaël Anzenberger
This project aims to create a solidly researched doctoral thesis on how to achieve the national goal for planting 1 church for every 10,000 inhabitants in France.
Currently in France, for every one pastor entering the field, two pastors retire. There is therefore not only the challenge to replace the existing workforce, but also to raise up a new generation of workers. The question is, how do we mobilize current para-churches and church denominations in a way that maximizes French resources and create synergies allowing them to work together to accomplish this goal.
Raphael Anzenberger is currently Secretary General of France Evangélisation – one of the CCFOF’s partner ministries – and is one of the most dynamic and strategic leaders in France today. Read Raphael’s bio here.
Through his work and his position within current national French leadership, this thesis has the potential to transform the landscape of French church planting methodology.
This thesis will assess who is doing what, the strategic repositioning of churches, para-church organizations and training institutes as well as addressing the question of human resources allocation.
