Have you...
Have you ever been to a church planters boot camp? What did you learn? Did you learn how to plant a church? How so?
Have you ever been involved in a disciples making disciples (themselves) movement? What did you experience?
Did you know that it is our job to make disciples?
Did you know that it is God's job to birth churches?
Give you random comments to these random thoughts...please?????

Hey Bob.
Yes...I went to a church planter's bootcamp in St. Louis back in the spring of 2005. I learned how to begin a typical hierarchy-led, attractional church.
A more organic, missional, disciples making disciples movement is what I tried to do in Southern Illinois, but my leadership was more interested in me beginning a typical hierarchy-led, attractional church.
Our job to make disciples? Yep.
God's job to birth churches? Yep, through his missionally-minded disciples.
1. No.
2. No.

Bill, Why do we call church planters, "church planters" if they are not the ones who start churches or are they?
