I love church planting. It forces a few Christians to take the risk of a lifetime and preach the Gospel to a new set of people—and the best part is that God has been blessing that step of faith through so many in the Acts 29 network and so many others.

Scott Thomas is the Director of the Acts 29 network, and in this talk asks "Should you be a church planter?" Thanks Mr. Warnock.

If you shouldn't be a church planter, you should help church planters.

I found this on the Acts 29 blog. This is a truly beautiful act of worship for a kid to do. Could you help a church plant?

On April 14^th-15^th, 2008, Leadership Network sponsored the Multi-Site Exposed | Seattle conference. The aim of the conference was to bring together a group of churches that are operating at multiple locations and to give smaller and younger churches the opportunity to learn from those that are further down the "multi-site" road.

In this second main session from the conference, listen as John Bishop of Living Hope Church talks about revitalizing your ministry, staying focused on Jesus, and recovering from burnout.

As they become available, all main sessions from the conference can be found here.

"Primary: earliest, original, of the first rank, of first importance, chief." So reads the entry in the Concise Oxford Dictionary (1976).

What, I ask you, is the church's primary task? Not what are the many good things the church should be doing, since there are a number of good answers to this question. But rather, what is really of first importance in the life of the church? How should leaders in your church think about doing the primary thing, that which is truly of first importance?

Spiritual Amnesia
It seems to me history reveals that the church of Jesus Christ is always in danger of spiritual amnesia. This danger seems even more evident to me now than it has been in many, many years. Today we argue about all kinds of church-related issues and needs. We even occasionally speak about revival and renewal. And we promote numerous causes-social, spiritual and political-but rarely do we address the need to restore the primary thing-the proclamation and place of Jesus Christ as Lord.
