God instilled confidence in me as a church planter. I realized I was scared of what other people thought or that I would look foolish. I decided to let the Lord speak into fear and pride. In that place of freedom, I found myself incredibly excited and inspired for what would come from the “yes” God cultivated in me over the years.
The Summit gave a definite space to reflect and pray, to step outside of everyday life to recognize the movement of the Holy Spirit, to share your story with others who have either been in your shoes or are standing alongside you discerning for him or herself.
It is a space to wonder, what if I planted a church? What if God really is calling me to be a church planter? What if this is what I desire? What would I say in response? I am grateful for this church planting discernment time to reflect and to see God’s activity in my life with the help of those around me.
