Church Planting Training Program

The goal of developing healthy church planters is to plant healthy churches.

The Church Planting Training Program is an accelerated church planting intensive dedicated to developing healthy disciplers, planters, and multipliers. It equips strategic church planters with essential competencies, theological foundations, and practical tools to launch new healthy churches quickly and effectively apply biblical principles and proven strategies of disciple making and church planting movements in their local contexts.

The program emphasizes evangelism, discipleship, church planting, biblical theology, Bible study, strategic leadership, church planting internship, and the development of context-sensitive strategies for reaching new communities across Myanmar.

Strategic Goals

Agape Vision 2033 is a strategic church planting initiative that aims to establish 300 healthy churches among unreached people in Myanmar by the end of 2033.

Our master plan for Agape Vision 2033 is to establish church planting training centers in strategic locations across Myanmar. In 2026, we will launch three training centers in the Yangon, Mandalay, and Sagaing regions. Our goal is to train and equip 300 strategic church planters across Myanmar by 2033.

Church Planting Internship

The Church Planting Internship Program will allow the students to gain experience in mission-oriented research, multicultural missions, disciple making, small group leadership, and church planting among unreached people groups in Myanmar.

Church Planting Interns will work in their new church plants in some parts of Myanmar for 2 – 3 months. The strategic church planters will work with a team of practice leaders and experienced practitioners to multiply disciples and establish new healthy churches among unreached people groups.

During the Church Planting Internship, students will be required to do mission-oriented research, write an envisioning, and develop a Church Planting Master Plan, and submit it to the Faculty of School of Missions and Church Planting in the last week of the internship to be eligible for graduation.

In addition, the Master Plan will determine the selection of called, equipped, qualified, and strategic church planters to join the church planting team with Agape Church Planting.
