23,000 Church Plants

It was an honor to have Dr. David Nelms of The Timothy Initiative with us for church planting weekend. He is a man whose work in training indigenous church planters has resulted in over 23,000 churches having been planted in Asia. For you who want to know more about his work, I encourage you to check out his web site at www.ttionline.org.

We hope to do two things with Dr. Nelms. He has never had a church work with him in launching his plan in Europe. Second would like to be that church. Due to the spiritual barrenness of Western Europe, this is a daunting task. Let's begin praying now for strongholds to be broken.

We also will be leaning on Dr. Nelms to help us in our church planting efforts locally. We cannot keep paying full-time salaries and building buildings for new churches. We must find a way whereby everyone can enlist a small group and hopefully have a church grow out of that group. Pray for us to have wisdom in these days.
