Plant Wars

I was reading an article by Jim Griffith (a church planting consultant for Easum and Bandy http://www.easumbandy.com) this morning. He said something I had heard clearly from Tom Wymore Friday. Don't launch too quickly. Griffith calls it a premature launch. Wait until the team has formed and they are ready for launch. Another thing that I heard from both of these men is the importance of prayer. Tom told me as he was planting in Austin that each time he sent out a prayer sheet to his prayer folks life seemed to run a bit smoother for a time. In Griffiths "Ten Most Common Mistakes for Church Plants" #1 is taking spiritual warfare too lightly. I pray for not only Gods will in planting a new church but Gods wisdom for carrying it through.
