If they have a passion and calling for church planting
If they could see themselves as a part of a church planting team
If they can see themselves as a leader in a local church or in other roles with a clear perspective of the importance of church planting

Five Elements
Online course
The course includes 6 modules of teaching and relevant assignments to be completed in local contexts. It is supplemented by the Participant’s workbook which helps participants to stay on track.
Mentoring relationship
Mentors support and encourage participants throughout the learning process and keep them accountable for their progress. Mentoring can happen one-on-one, in small groups or cohorts. Different nations choose the intensity of mentoring differently (for example, twice in each module, or once after each module).
Startup weekend
A gathering of all participants in a nation, region or denomination which takes place at the end of Module 1. It is a time of worship, fellowship and committing to each other and the course.
Regional gatherings
A meeting in a local church with 5-20 participants from a region and their leaders. Typically 4-5 meetings will take place during the entire course to provide a space for mutual support and encouragement among the participants.
Study trip
This inspiring trip often is an international trip of all M4 Ready participants around Europe. It is a time of worship and learning in a location where churches are being planted in various circumstances.
As a nation, region or denomination implements the course, they can decide how to customize these aspects of the course for their own context.
