Why I Started Planting Churches.

Planting a new church is hard work; the front-end, the back-end, managing new relationships, managing old relationships, recruiting, leadership, and setting up systems. None of this is easy at all so, I'd like to give you some insight as to why I started planting churches. 

#1 – I Was Called To Do It

In the Christian faith, it's all about the calling. What has God called you to do?

I would have been content attending church and preaching intermittently in my younger years, but "something on the inside working on the outside," wouldn't let it be. I began to sense cities and people. There was something within teaching me things I didn't know or understood at the time. The ability to see how churches are formed was within me the entire time. It's how God designed me building from the bottom up is in my DNA. 

#2 – I Fell In Love With People

Loving people is something beyond my control. Loving people is God's highest ideal for all of us. I do believe those called to Pastor have hearts that are simply designed to walk with people through life in loving ways. People will always be God's heart and planting churches can bring awareness and visibility of Christ to cities in new and creative ways of God loving on HIS people. 

#3 – It Out Weighed Everything Else 

Yeah, once I was apprehended by God's Love, it was a wrap. All the plans I made; sports, and the military, nothing mattered. I was focused on preaching and pastoring. I never knew I would be planting churches it kind of just happened and the next thing I knew I was a planter. I had never planted a church or been part of planting. My goal has always been for Christ to be seen. His love for me and His concern for my life has forever changed me in a way that no other accomplishment has and He is as important to me as planting churches.  I want others to experience what I did, total transformation. 

Love Ya',
