I really enjoyed this article having been a Church planter for Ten years. It's very honest and very true. Read the full article here
1. It's All about Sunday.
2. If it's not working your signage or location is not working.
3. What counts is attendence, baptisim's and membership signup's.
4. For the first two years work as hard as you can without burning out.
5. The goal of every pastor should be full time paid.
6. Some people are just scafolding people.
7. Gather a crowd first, work out the disciples later.
Usher: Hey Deak, see, the church planters are simply satellite franchises like I argued with you before
Deacon: Ok, maybe there are a few out there
Usher: A few - the only way for the church to survive in the new generation is to evangelize church planters - this proves it
Deacon: Why can't they just "do church" instead of building kingdoms?
Usher: Because it's all they know and they can't believe Christ can run his own church without their help.
