As I’ve talked about, church planters are heroes to me. Having planted a church and pastored it for 6 years, I get all that’s involved. It’s my desire that as Palm Valley continues to grow and develop, we will develop a coaching network for church planters; to help them along the way.

Early this week I went to the Launch conference hosted by Nelson Searcy and Kerrick Thomas of Jouney New York. Nelson is a systems genius and has a huge heart for the Kingdom. These guys are flat out getting it done in Manhattan. You can get all of their resources here.

If you’re a church planter do yourself a huge favor and get familiar with Nelson and his coaching team. They have, in my opinon, the best system for helping you to launch a church and do it well.

As a church of 2,000 the systems they talked about were a huge challenge to me about how we function. The reminded me how I always want to be hungry for every person who doesn’t know Christ, and living daily with a desparation to reach people for Christ.
