This morning I had two great meetings. The first was a church planting team from somewhere in GA. They are blowing it out of the doors. They just showed up yesterday and wanted to talk about church planting and see the building. Our Pastor Brian happened through and invited these guys to breakfast. (I love his heart for church planters). These guys explained that they have tried to work through the processes of their denomination but the local churches have rejected them because they are different. He tried a mentor but it was like they were speaking foreign languages to each other. He was wondering where to turn.

Then I went to my second Starbucks of the morning and met a guy that wants to start an Hispanic Church. He’s got several people with him but his current church “wants to build their ministry.” This may become a partner soon.

I appreciate the heart of a pastor that has a heart for missions of all types. It comes down to whether you love people more than a building. We are going to offer to help both pastors however we can. It is not about us. It is not about building our ministry. It is about people who need to hear and see Jesus. Whatever language, whatever worship style, in whatever kind of building we want to bring people in to hear the gospel.

Jesus said, “I will build my church.” He builds them in all kinds of ways. We need to be about joining Him in what He builds, not worrying about how or where or in what language.
