In order to have healthy and successful churchplants it is vital to find the right churchplanters. A married churchplanter needs the full support of his/her spouse. With our assessment programme, we spend time with the churchplanter and his/her spouse before starting the M4 process. Three areas are assessed: Calling, Character and Competencies.

Church planting is hard work ! To help planters in this process we provide monthly coaching. Our coaches help to encourage the planter, as well as to challenge them in their work: coaches review the action plan and provide feedback and critique on progress. Coaching helps to raise the effectiveness of church planting more than any other aspect. Coaching for M4 France is led by Patrick Deneut.
M4 is built around the ABC's of church planting: Assessment, Basic Training and Coaching. Assessment is both online and via an in-depth interview, and helps leaders find the right candidates - who then also have a deeper understanding of their gifting. Our basic training provides a rich, interactive learning environment, where planters and their teams produce practical action plans. Coaching then helps teams take their plans from dream to reality. The process lasts 2-3 years. The content in the training platform has been developed from 30 years of church planting experience in the European context, and is formed around four topics: Master, Mission, Multiplication and Movement.
