Ode to Church Planters
I hung out with Ben Arment today. Ben pastors history church in the DC area. I love his vision and their organic approach to church planting.
Once a church planter always a church planter!
It's hard to describe, but I have so much respect for church planters! Church planters are a unique breed :) You almost have to be a little out of touch with reality to plant a church :) Even when the church doesn't grow as large or as fast as your vision, you have to keep believing. It takes tremendous emotional endurance. But the thing that kept me going in our early years was knowing we were making a difference one person at a time!
I guess what I'm saying is this: here's to church planters :)

Mark,
I love your heart for church planters because I share it also. We need more Pastors and Church's to take an interest in reaching this generation of lost people by praying for and supporting those who are called to the very touch job of church planting. Keep taking the challenge to churches on your blog because there is much of this country still not being reached and God has given you a voice. God bless my friend and I hope to meet you someday.
