Some Highlights and Links From Today’s Show:
Thoughts about church planting if he was starting today:
- He would not do it without a “core team” of 10 to 20 people who are fully on board from the start.
- He would ask local church pastors to suggest people in their church who could be a part of a “short term” mission team to serve for 6 months or so.
- If you are church planting and your only skill set is preaching, you will be in trouble.
- Get a degree in something outside of ministry to support your family – a business degree or teaching degree to prepare for Church Planting.
- He would start as a “Bi-vocational” Church Planter.
