Network

We are considering partnering with a network of church planters. It's called the Growing Healthy Churches Network. I met a GHCN pastor a few weeks ago. He was telling me about the network and it peaked my interest.

They do several things for their church partners:

• Some financial help
• Serve as an advisory/accountability board
• Church planter assessment
• Coaching
• Training
• Interation/Encouragement between church plant pastors
• Conferences

In turn, we would give back to them some financially over the years so that more churches can have the same experience.

Here's what I really like about them.

As I talked with JD Pearring, the leader of the network, yesterday he told me "We let you lead your church. We aren't the decision makers, you are the one God chose to lead your church. We provide advice and accountability."

I have talked with several of their church planters who give the network rave reviews.

How can you help?

• Pray for our wisdom as we get to know the network
• Give financially- although the assessment isn't extremely expensive, there are travel and lodging fees involved.

If you could give a few hundred dollars, or even just $20-50, it would help make this a reality.
