spiritual side to church planting

As a church planter, you are pioneering a new work. You are taking new territory and make no mistake, pulling down strongholds is a requirement in the process! This is one of the hardest seasons you'll encounter. Regardless of the number of years you've been in ministry, how long you've been a Chrisitan; the warfare is intense.

Through all the sacrifices, the labor, the warfare, the exhaustion, know this: Every leader who does something SIGNIFICANT for God experiences a Gethsemane.

Stay steadfast, unmovable, focused and mission oriented. Take some time this week to ENJOY a piece of life! I know the pressure is intense as you consistently labor, drive, raise money and intercede for others. This week, take some time for YOU! Taking a break will not kill you and set you behind. Take a moment to enjoy the SIMPLE things in life and allow the Lord to refresh, renew and rejuvenate.
