I am less than 30 days out to heading out to Raleigh North Carolina for the Acts 29 Church Planting Bootcamp.
It would be an understatement to say that I am excited about the Bootcamp and the possibilities that I imagine will come from it.
Nevertheless, I can see from the look on peoples faces that it strikes them odd that as a pastor I am going to a Church Planters Bootcamp. So here is my thinking...
1. The concepts behind church planting is healthy for the local church.
2. The bootcamp deals with leadership development, gathering people, setting up systems etc.
3. I hope that rubbing shoulders with guys that I seriously respect will give me some clarity on vision.
4. I've had the conviction for almost 20 years that God will have me plant a church in my lifetime. This is an investment in that conviction.
5. Barney Fife moved to Raleigh when he left Mayberry.
