Launch

I’m trying to read more lately.  I go through spurts of reading.  I’ll read a bunch of books in a short period of time, then I’ll fizzle out for a while.  BUT, with God working on me about church planting, it’s been vitally important for me to make a little extra effort to sharpen myself and my ministry a little more than at other times.

A week or so ago, Eric “leant” me a copy of Launch – Starting a New Church From Scratch by Nelson Searcy and Kerrick Thomas of Journey Church New York. I have to put “leant” in quotation marks, because he’s probably not going to get it back.  I’ll probably wind up buying him a replacement copy.

I’m trying to read more specific on church planting.  God is shaping a vision, but I need some ideas to help me move the vision from my head to reality.  Launch is really helping . . . along with the Developing Churches Network meeting we went to on Wednesday, contacts being made in the process, and some good old-fashioned sit-down-and-work-on-it that I’ve done this week.

Anyway, just needed to do a what I’m reading update.  (Actually, Launch kinda pushed another church planting book on the back burner for a few days.  Oh, well.)
