Saturday Saturation (Ideas for Our Church)

When someone once asked me what I wanted to do in my ministry, I began describing my burden to see churches planted. I was calling myself a church planter, but that missionary corrected me. The technical term for what I feel called to be is a church plant facilitator. Part of my vision for our church is to plant another church every 5-7 years. We can train the staff in our church for those five years, raise funds for five years, and then send them out. Here is a site that nails down exactly how this is done: http://www.churchplantingvillage.net/

A preacher doused in gasoline shares Christ rather than renouncing him. This is the single most profound video I have watched in years:

As we become a Great Commission church, there are scores of ideas and opportunities that we can tap into. Consider the idea from the IMB about adopting a people group! I think our church should definitely do this: Link to IMB Website

I grew up in a church where the youth group went out of the country at least once/year. That is my goal for our church as well. I am actively working with Trey Summerlin to develop some International and affordable mission trip options for our youth (middle school & high school). Here is a site with a TON of information for parents regarding logistics that allow you to search for opportunities around the globe. This is what God has called each of us to do. http://www.thetask.org/youth/YOM/yom.htm

Another decent site for this is: http://www.world-changers.net/

And how bout something like this video to encourage folks to become more involved in Sunday School small groups?
