Quotes about Planters

We're not church planters. We are community planters and, as we work in our communities, we join local churches.

Church planters deliberately left so that the church could function under the headship of Christ. If a church planter stays in a church, the members naturally look to him to lead. Every-member functioning is hindered. This is still true today. The pattern throughout the entire New Testament is that church planters (apostolic workers) always left the church after they laid the foundation.

Something I've noticed. Church planters don't pray for revival. They pray for opportunity, favor with the unchurched and leaders.
