Pastors, the picture you paint is the art your people will carry.
If you call your people to the nations “over seas,” but fail to call them to the 360 unreached people groups living in the United States and 180 in Canada, then they will believe the unreached people groups are only “over seas.”
If you call your people to complicated and difficult-to-reproduce church planting models (if you call them to church planting at all), then your people will believe that such is the only way forward. (Church planting is not for me, I’m a school teacher, mechanic, banker, painter, physician.).
If you need help painting a vision for church planting, then start HERE and HERE.
If you need help with leading your church to church planting, then start HERE.
If you need help painting an understanding of unreached people groups in North America, then start HERE and HERE.
You are an artist. You are always painting. Paint wisely.
