The Planting Churches manual makes reference to the Starting Outward-Focused Churches DVD as a complimentary resource (see www.outreach.ca/sofc for more details). The manual has been designed with the possibility of sharing topics with a core group that is involved in starting a church and Starting Outward-Focused Churches provides some audio-visual seminars that could be used to initiate group discussion on some of the topics.
