“Through Open Space Technology, we were able to gather together 27 
presbytery moderators, the General Secretary, and pastors from the 
Evangelism Committee and have them discuss and reach a consensus on 
the gist of One-leads-one New Doubling Movement,” said Rev. Lyim 
Hong-tiong, Associate General Secretary of the PCT.

He said the meeting allowed many pastors to voice their concerns or 
misgivings or questions regarding this new movement and provided an 
opportunity to clear up misunderstandings. Attendees later became 
active participants by helping to formulate 10 practical steps 
towards fulfilling the goals of this movement.

The 10 practical steps revolved mostly around topics such as: How to 
build a healthy church, how to place quality above quantity in church 
growth, how to design study materials suitable for seekers, 
believers, and potential leaders, contrasting the new and old 
“Doubling” movements, structural aspects of mission partnerships, how 
to use Bunun Aborigine ministries as a mission model, how budgeting 
figures into mission ministries, and how to create training material 
suitable for Aborigine churches.
