I just spoke with a pastor from Pittsburgh. His church is a planting church. They've planted seven churches out of their church over the last few years. He talked with me personally and asked about some indicators of our first year. He was very complimentary of where we are in our journey. He made a statement that was enlightening he said that in a situation like ours it will take about two years to get to where a launch team would be out of a mothered church situation. Now that's church planter lingo, but in other words if we had come out of a large church that strategically was looking to start a church, they would have sent out many more people and a lot more money. Starting the church like we did is a different animal, but when he heard our progress he let me know that we're doing great.
