Paul’s efforts were not just about starting churches; they were about cultivating thriving communities rooted in Christ. This study unpacks how Paul's methods can inspire and guide us in modern ministry contexts.

Paul was a missionary, pastor, teacher, and advocate for the gospel, deeply committed to establishing churches that could grow and multiply. His ministry was marked not simply by planting but by equipping believers for service, fostering discipleship, and persevering through challenges.
