You forgot one thing—he planted seeds of the gospel before any of these other things.

He didn't plant churches, he planted Christ and Christ, as head, built the churches. He worked through Paul and others but it was He who established the churches. That's where we've gone off course, we think it's up to us to establish the churches when that's not our responsibility. We think we can do it better than He can.

I understand what you mean. And this is sadly the problem, not only today. This problem exist through the whole churchhistory.

These are locations where you think Paul planted churches. I'm asking for an example of Paul actually planting a church. How did he do it? What actions were taken?

Preach Jesus, get converts, meet regularly, organize them into a local fellowship, teach them, set up some basic leadership, and repeat.
