The first session Ed Stetzer talked about a new research project which addresses the “State of Church Planting”. This was an informative session.

I discovered that it is “never a good time to start a church,” and the #1 way to start a new church is by having someone who is dedicated to making it happen. I am still working this out on how to communicate it. But, I do know this for sure… we (the church) need to be dedicated to the expansion of the gospel.

Goodnight and sleep well.
