Status Updates From Church Planting by the Book

“Remember Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews, who “came to Jesus by night” (John 3:2); Or sometimes a conversation at night provides a seeker some private space to gain more information before he or she decided to follow Jesus. It is interesting to note how many Muslims come to faith during the week hours of the morning. The church planter must be willing to adjust.” (Pg. 123-124)

“Go to a new place believing that God is at work and that he has already prepared some in that place to receive his message.” (Pg. 73)

“Paul wrote to the church in Thessalonica months after they had received the gospel and said to them, “The word of the Lord has sounded forth from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone forth.” (1 Thes. 1:8).” (Pg. 63).

“More than half the chapters in Acts describe believers as in prison or being detained.” (Pg. 42)

Read Acts 1:9-14
“The first description of a church plant begins with an emphasis on prayer —a very important insight for church planting teams today. The team that God had put in place for the planting of the Jerusalem church began with a focus on unified prayer.” (Pg. 17)

"Church planting in new places, where the gospel is not, will extend the breadth of the kingdom of God; church planting where the church already exists will expand the depth of the kingdom of God." (63)
