Person
George Patterson has pioneered breakthroughs in pastoral and missional strategies. These involve integrating pioneer church planting with pastoral training through highly prolific mentoring "chains" as Paul advised, establishing churches on obedience to Christ's foundational commands rather than on abstract propositions, encouraging interactive instruction, and helping institutional churches launch a second, non-traditional track, allowing both tracks to love and edify each other. He has authored many stories, role-plays, and training manuals that are used in six continents.
