Attention Church Planters

Author: Mike Anderson
POSTED ON: 07.30.08

Church planting can often feel like taking punches for Jesus. Physically, emotionally, and spiritually church planting is incredibly difficult—but it brings new people before a good and Holy God in a way nothing else does.

People Planting Churches
After yesterday's post, I got thinking about the people I know who are just starting to plant...

  • My friend Kevin Cawley launched Redeemer Fellowship in Kansas City in June.
  • Jason Salamun is just launching Project Church this weekend in September. Be praying for him.
  • Mars Hill just launched the Olympia campus (think mega church with less than 150 people).
  • Send me a message on twitter or facebook if you're planting.

    • Video for Church Planters
    Here's a great video from the archives that Mark and the guys from Mars Hill created for church planters (a little controversial... You can read about it here.)

    Should you be a church planter?

    I love church planting. It forces a few Christians to take the risk of a lifetime and preach the Gospel to a new set of people—and the best part is that God has been blessing that step of faith through so many in the Acts 29 network and so many others.

    Scott Thomas is the Director of the Acts 29 network, and in this talk asks "Should you be a church planter?" Thanks Mr. Warnock.

    If you shouldn't be a church planter, you should help church planters.

    I found this on the Acts 29 blog. This is a truly beautiful act of worship for a kid to do. Could you help a church plant?

    Doxologist Interviews Lacrae

    It's cool to see people reaching their culture for Jesus in whatever way they can. You can tell that Lacrae is passionate about seeing Jesus worshiped and lives changed. When I went to see him perform live, I felt slightly uncomfortable jumping up and down with the rest of the crowd, but, when I looked around me and saw hundreds of people praising Jesus and they were preaching the Gospel in a way the whole crowd grasped—I was amazed.

    Who are the people around you that need Jesus?
    What does it look like to be a comic book geek for Jesus? A Nascar Dad for Jesus? A YMCA volunteer for Jesus?

    You'd never expect the most pointedly missional language to come from a rap song. A few weeks ago, I was blown away watching this song live at Mars Hill Church. The guys from Reach Records are preaching with authority through music, I hope we see more of this in the future.
