I will attempt to answer the broad question: how effective have missionary church planters been who have initiated German speaking congregations in the last thirty years? I will specifically be looking at three German free church denominations who have profited the most from missionary church planters. It must be pointed out that these three denominations have also planted more churches than all other free church denominations combined. The three denominations in this paper will include the Bund Evangelisch- Freikirchliche-Gemeinden (Union of Baptist Churches – BEFG), the Bund Freikirchlicher Pfingstgemeinden (Union of Pentecostal Free Churches – BFP), and the Bund Freier Evangelischer Gemeinden (Evangelical Free Church – FEG).
