A Church Planting Movement in the Making?

It just could be.  This was the first time I’ve ever been asked to speak to a group of church planters that were ALL MEMBERS OF THE SAME CHURCH - about 50 of them.  Grace Fellowship, where David Nelms is the pastor and Greg Kappas is the missions pastor, hosted us with their networks - Timothy Initiative and Grace Global Network.  We’ve had many “non-pastors” go through our training, but to see so many laymen from a single church was really exciting to me. 

Sunday, David gave an invitation challenging members to start churches - many of these will be cells or house churches - this 78 year old lady came forward and said God had called her!  She was at all the training, alert and awake.  Before you discount her, don’t forget God called Abraham at 75 and gave him a son at 100.  It was also reflective of the world in that the majority were immigrants and from all over the world - not so many “white” people.  These first generation immigrants are going to be our salvation in terms of multiplying churches and I’m excited about it.  The world is coming to us - to bring hope - we welcome you - we desperately need your help!

    Bob, Grace Fellowship sounds likes an exciting church with a tremendous vision for every member ministry and church planting. I'd like to learn more about them. Do they have a website?
