Isn't it time to set some goals? If you have nothing to aim at you'll hit it every time.
This is a call for the ABA to start 100 New Churches in the next associational year!
Who will hear this call and be willing to respond to it? Who can help us reach this realistic goal? Let's start a groundswell, a grassfire that will encompass our entire association.
How will this goal be achieved? We need 100 churches that will respond by saying, we will start a new church/mission this year. We need 100 men who will say, "I am going to start a new church this year?" How hard is that? We need your participation and commitment to this call. Can we solicit you to join us? Let us know you will participate, let us know you will pray for this to happen. Let us know so that we can track the working of God in this biblical enterprise.
If you will join us contact us at www.goxstream.org or dsmith5165@afo.net to start the movement. Let's start 100 new churches this year.

Not Missions, Just churches. It would be nice if we did it the Bible way.
Temple has recently more than doubled her missions offerings through Faith Promise Missions Giving. We have begun initial planning to start a new church 2008. When God's people make themselves available to HIM (for the purpose of missions), all the resources become available to THEM. God is ready when we are!
Dear Bro. David,
Yes I would love to be involved, I will forward you the info you asked for about the church planting, I am working on getting the chruches to write up summaries of thier experiences in this journey. I will also give your email to Gary Carter and have him contact you. Lets go get them

Here is an idea that we have talked about up here in Canada with other churches, make the last year of seminary to be more of a co-op program where we take guys and give them real world expereience in the battle. Let them have to complete a year on the mission field and then we can habd them keys to a new church plant. Plus it helps them in learning how to apply theory and reality. As well if we are serious about planting churches we have to have a business strategy, how, where, with what resources, how od we manage those resources and we need to amalgamate somoe serious churches of means to sponsor and empower a commitee to run this work and get the job done. That may mean visiting seminaries and recruiting guys and having payment means for them hooking them to a sponsoring church who can offer income and tempoaray housing if necesary, or have somoeone who owns a business that will provide work and other means of income to get the ministry done. We have to consdier that there are other means of investing other than sending desinated funds, we will ahve to consider any and all revenue sources and expand out ability to raise money.

I have recently surrendered to preach (about a month before Easter) and I am moving to Henderson in August to attend TBI. I am more than interested and willing to start a new church. Please pray for me and God's direction.
