This January, we will officially plant Grace Bible Church Honolulu. Believe it or not, this is the fourth church plant of which Gregg and I have been a part. You may wonder, are we crazy? Possibly. Glutton for punishment? Most definitely. And we have the gray hair to prove it! We’ve learned a lot through our experiences and the growth it has brought forth in our lives is invaluable.
Yesterday, during my daily ramblings to Gregg about church thoughts, ideas, etc., Gregg stopped me and reminded me of this one church planting essential:
He said, “All that we need to do is to stay in love with Jesus, and help others to do the same.”
It sounds like a no-brainer, but in the midst of planning, meeting, scheduling, preparing, and the daily demands and routines of a family and ministry, it is so easy to . . . slowly . . . drift . . . away from God.
So, fellow church planter, fellow Christian, stay in love with Jesus and help others to do the same.
