church planting quotes

Steve Addison posts some quotes from the US National Church Planting Conference:

What you do with your first convert determines whether you will become a church planting movement.
Bob Logan

God blesses the mega church in Korea and the house church in China. Hold to your models loosely and to Jesus firmly.
Ed Stetzer

If you want to win the world to Christ you’re going to have to sit in the smoking section.
Neil Cole

You have a Church Planting Movement when it’s growing so fast you can’t count it. It’s growing so fast that your systems can’t cope.

You would be wrong to think that church planting movements are a white man’s idea. They are not. We are trying to implement in the West what we are seeing God do all over the developing world. We have been the last to get it.
