Today I was privileged to spend the day at the Church Multiplication Network Planting Bootcamp with our newest network planter Jeff Tibbetts.
Here's some food for thought:
All experiences shape planting a church. how do you leverage your experiences both good and not so good?
God is " Provision" He is for us and since he is for us who can be against us!
Creative funding of plant-
Develop a community serving non-profit ahead of your plant
Bi-vocational ministry as a way to fund your plant
Create a "for profit" business that funds your plant
2 aspects of evangelism- attracting, presenting. I'm thinking that if you have either one without the other, it's not evangelism.
Every planter should have a circle of Critical Loyalty- people you trust that love you and will speak into both the good and the bad.
Discipleship is an intentional process and needs to built into a church's structure. Otherwise, it will not happen.
And finally, a quote from a good friend and network partner, Justin Meier, " if it's not reproducing disciples, groups and churches, it's not multiplication!"
Feel free to share your thoughts!
