Abstract

The purpose of this dissertation was to discover the influences that motivate, or de-motivate, national church planters to persevere in their mission to plant churches in Moldova. Research followed a mixed-method approach. Interviews with nationals were followed by the development of a survey instrument. Thirty-three church planters trained by Crossover Communications International were studied. The research studied motivation and de-motivation from six perspectives: spiritual, economic, political/religious, relational, ministry activities, and training. The study found that Moldovan church planters were motivated most by spiritual vibrancy and close relationships. They were de-motivated most by opposition, fatigue, and being alone.
