There are some things that are essential for a church planter.

Top of the list is faith.

When you are church planting, you are doing something that doesn’t make sense.

You are leaving an established situation, starting with few resources, fewer people and very little to attract people to your cause.

All you have is a wing and a prayer and a promise.

Faith is taking God at his word.

Faith is believing the promise.

Faith is trusting God when it gets hard.

Faith is not giving up on your calling.

Faith is believing that God can turn five people into six people.

Faith is believing that God can turn six people into seven people.

Faith is believing that God can turn seven people into a hundred people.

Faith is believing that God will show up and rock your world when there are still five of you.

Faith is believing that God can impact your city when there are still empty seats in your living room.

Faith is crazy.

Faith is a game changer.

Faith is an adventure.

Faith is stepping out with God.

If you are looking for a person to church plant, look for a person with faith.
