Planting a Movement

I spent the day yesterday with Al Barth from the Redeemer Church Planting Center, based in New York. It was amazingly encouraging to hear how God is using Redeemer to motivate, envision and resource a global church planting movement – churches that plant churches are starting to pop up everywhere and there seems to be significant growth in post-christian Europe which is really exciting. We spent a lot of time talking through planting in South Africa and the effect it can have on Africa in general – we’ve got a lot of work to do but with the backing of groups like Redeemer and Acts29 we might just begin to start pulling some of it off.
