What is a form of cultural fruit produced by healthy churches?

• A. Avoiding culture and cities
• B. Initiation of gospel movements
• C. Limiting evangelism to church members
• D. Focusing only on doctrinal study

Answer: (B)

Healthy churches multiply their outreach rather than merely preserving what they have. A key form of cultural fruit is initiating gospel movements—when a church helps spark rapid, widespread expansion by training and sending followers who plant new churches and disciple others within their own culture. This kind of outward, reproducing impact shows the church’s health by creating networks of believers who continue to reach more people, often across different communities.

By contrast, avoiding culture and cities keeps the church apart from the contexts it’s meant to reach; limiting evangelism to existing members confines impact to insiders; and focusing only on doctrinal study tends to center on knowledge rather than multiplication and mission. All of those pathways miss the dynamic, outward-facing reproduction that characterizes a living, gospel-centered movement.
