My Observations have been that it is the "Capable Lay People" who lead the planting in the neighbourhoods in which they all ready live. I belive that for some, it will be our responsibility to "appoint" or affirm and support these individuals. It is much like Pauls instructions to Titus in Crete, "straighten out what was left undone and appoint elders in every polis/neighbourhood". We have found very capable leaders in every neighbourhood that we have approached. With the lay missional church planter in mind, I belive that we will want to rethink some of our steps. Most of this will follow pretty naturally as we listen and encourage these leaders. Howard David, Great to chat with you about these ideas when you were up here in Edmonton.
