Where There Is Life, Things Grow

A lady sitting next to me on a flight from Dallas back to Birmingham, Ala., asked me, "What kind of work do you do?" I answered, "I plant churches." She looked at me with confusion and replied, "Oh, what does that mean?" "I help young couples that have a dream of doing something extraordinary for God fulfill that dream as church planters."

Then I went on to explain that nearly 4,000 churches in the U.S. close each year and there is a huge need for new churches in every city. I explained that the Association of Related Churches (ARC), an organization I helped found, selected, trained and financed the ministries of people who wanted to start new churches, and that I felt like I had the greatest job in the world. She smiled and said, "That's nice."

Church planting is nice. I'm not sure if the lady in the plane felt sorry for me or if she was sincere with her comments. But the bottom line is this: Church planting is the most effective evangelistic tool in the church today.
