Boot Camp

This is my first day at Church Planting Boot Camp. Since our church is planting a church because we love God and love people and want the best for them and our community - and there's never a cookie cutter way of doing things for God, because God is unique, in motion, always challenging us, growing us, and helping us find ourselves in His perfect will.... well, because of all that, there's much learning and seeking God to be done! That's what this week is all about. There are several week long schools going on at once, and it's designed to gather pastors together who are trekking similar experiences so that we can share stories, swap methods, trade prayer requests...most important, pray and keep praying, dream, and find a quiet place for our minds as we listen for God to speak.

Prior to coming there was Biblical and Community research to do; such as study on Moses' leadership and what God wanted to do at that time, also Joshua, David, and a whole list of Bible leaders that had big shoes to fill. -And also interviews in the community with people who have a good pulse on things so we can plan to meet the needs of the people we live near...

The camp is a week of fast paced activity & team discussion to help pastors answer 6 questions about us and our place of ministry:

1. What does God want to do?
2. Who am I?
3. What am I sent to do?
4. Who will do it with me?
5. How will we do it?
6.How will we evaluate the progress?

Stay tuned, this is gonna be BIG!
