Planter Profile:

What were the biggest challenges you faced in planting your church (and/or currently facing)?

People telling me that as a county guy I shouldn't plant in the city...that was in the past, but not anymore. The biggest challenge now is making leaders out of the people who are faithfully attending the church that come from several different countries.

How did you become involved with Acts 29? What have been the biggest benefits of being in the network?

Networking, Theological and Missiological Agreement - these are greatest benefits and joys of being in the network.

How do you pastor your family?

Nightly Bible study and worship.

What is your philosophy of community in your church and what does that look like practically in your church? Of evangelism?

This Fall, we are transitioning from "community" groups to LIFE groups.

The big change is that the groups will be started and focused around doing mission. We believe that "community" will naturally form and come out of the groups that way. It's much easier to go from mission to community than to go from community centered groups which do mission. We are excited about this. Matt Carter's video and thoughts on this helped us to make this decision.
