Should you believe the Lord is leading you to be a church planter, there are a number of steps that you will need to take. These have been put in place not to discourage you but rather to help you discover the most effective position for you in kingdom work.
There is no question that church planting is exciting. There is nothing like bringing the Gospel to people who do not know Jesus in ways that are creative and entrepreneurial. However, church planting is also very challenging. Many who have embraced church planting have discovered that Satan presses hard against weaknesses previously ignored or not realized. He does not want the kingdom of God to expand. Still, this is true no matter where or in any vocation you serve Christ. With that being said, perhaps now is the time for you to discover your apptitude, specifically for Church Planting. If is, please follow the steps listed below.
