Church Planting Insight #1 | missionalchallenge.com

When starting a church over twenty years ago, if I was told this one time, I was told it ten times:

Last month as I was flying home from a training event, I had a layover in Chicago.

“One of the truest tests of being a servant ishow we respondwhen we are treated like one.”

Leaders must be accountable for disciplemaking. You’ve heard the adage, “Speed of the leader, speed of the team.”
Ask your spiritual leaders who they are influencing to follow Jesus. Don’t assume they are building relationships with lost people.

I really want to help Christians understand this. I want to help them to live on mission with Jesus right where they are. You don’t have to go overseers to be a missionary. You can live as a “sent one” in your neighborhood.

I love my kids! I am proud of my kids. They both have worked so hard to attain their goals. This week my son graduates from The Juilliard School. Next month my daughter completes her formal ballet training and will be moving to Germany in August to apprentice with the Dresden Ballet.

When I planted a church in 1990, there wasn’t a Church Planters Bootcamp training available. It wasn’t until October 1992 that the Church Multiplication Training Center launched the first Bootcamp for church planters held in Estes Park, Colorado.

How can church planters help those who want to join in planting a church to get on the same page?

The more financial pressures placed on a church planter, the greater the pressure will be to attract “church people” to join the new church so that the giving base will grow.
