George PattersonGeorge Patterson is a former missionary, author and professor at Western Seminary. He labored 21 years in Central America training pastors in a way that multiplies churches In Honduras he began by training pastors in a traditional, resident Bible Insitute with poor results. With the advice of more experienced missionaries and much trial and error, he later saw churches multiply through the instrumentality of Theological Education and Evangelism by Extension (TEEE). This non-formal pastoral training resulted in twenty years in about 100 new churches in northern Honduras. This is as a result of the Biblical discipleship and church reproduction principles Dr. Patterson implemented. This model is now used with similar results in Asia, Africa and Latin America, as well in the United States, and is distributed as Train & Multiply TM. George mentors workers who seriously want to follow New Testament guidelines to sustain church planting movements, many of whom have made significant breakthroughs. Dr. Ralph Winter describes George as one of the two or three world experts in the growth of the church, and calls his missionary career legendary. Read More Read Less
