This is where we start when we train church planters.

We hope church planters get a bigger picture than their own little world and can see a glimpse of the entire KINGDOM of GOD and their place in it.

We want church planters to know that there is a CALL to ministry, but I believe a specific CALL TO CHURCH PLANTING. Church Planting is bruising. It is hard, it is demanding, but the most rewarding work a man will ever do. If a man is doing this because he can’t find another ministry he will likely fail.

We believe success begins with PRAYER. I’ve said it many times my prayer life was never as intense as it was when I was planting a church. Many times we knew that if God didn’t show up with an answer at just the right time I might not get paid, the lights may be turned off, people may not show up, yada, yada, yada. Prayer is an essential habit and spiritual discipline a church planter must develop.

And now a personal confession, I joined a facebook group today; Krispy Kreme lovers! That’s my kind of group!
