We’ve visited a church plant in our new city, and it is a plant by locals, but I still kind of wonder … this area is full of churches. How does a person/group go from ‘I need to work in this church’ to ‘I need to help get this church back to the Gospel/back on mission’ to ‘I need to plant a <i>new</i> church. I think I’d be excited about this plant if that question was clearly answered.
