Information overload

February 24th-27th, Amanda and I took part in Basic Training for Church Planters. The volume of the information is best depicted on the left. Over the 3 days worth of training we were challenged to work on different pieces of the church planting puzzle. Some of the pieces were understanding our call to planting, vision, values, small group strategy, large group strategy, financial information, and evangelism. Ideas like nonnegotiables and mission were talked about from practitioners and leaders from Colorado. The wisdom in the room was invaluable and I am grateful to have a state that seeks to train, equip and release church leaders of all types into the mission field to be harvest hands.

I waited until now to write about the weekend because I was still processing. I might be still processing a year from now but I must begin to put the action plan in places that will lead up to being on the ground in Lowry. The puzzle pieces are on the table and the edge pieces are lining up now it is time to work on the image in the center and places the pieces correctly so that others and can see the grand design of God.
