“If we don’t develop Type 1 and 2 leaders, churches will stop reproducing. This is not an excuse to neglect Type 3–5 leaders. If we fail to develop these leaders, the churches’ stability and sustainability may be compromised.”

“If the church already has Type 3, 4, and 5 leaders trained in theological education institutions, it will be very difficult to change the DNA of the church and leadership development to a different pattern. But we can still look for ways to develop the majority of leaders. Perhaps we can infuse new DNA from the edges. If we focus our leadership-development efforts only or mainly on preparing people to be full-time pastors of established churches (Type 3 leaders), we risk causing church stagnation and decline. Making new disciples is not these leaders’ main practical priority.”
