By Brian KoehnAlmost every weekend, we’re helping another church or two learn a system for setting up for their weekend services in a rented school building. Churches rent all kinds of buildings, but almost 75% of our churches end up in schools. As Scott Thomas, Acts 29 president, says, “They’re designed for large groups, and they’ve got parking.”So it was quite a shock when I heard that, “The

When I first joined this company in 2004, I had the privilege of attending a church conference in Ocala, FL under the leadership of Ron Sylvia. It was the most practical conference I'd been to about church planting. I loved the practical, team-based teaching approach. Planters, joined on principal, shared practical ways to build block parties, build & assimilate volunteers, grow disciples, choose

Rodney Arnold, lead pastor of OneLife Church in Knoxville, won our iPad 2 contest last week. After Rodney's number came up in the drawing (lucky #13, for the record), I read his survey results. I was surprised to see that he was what we call a second-generation client. That means, Rodney is familiar with us because a fellow planter sold him their gear once they were ready to move into a building.

One of the greatest joys of partnering with churches is getting to hear about all of the things God is doing across North America. It can be tempting to view God myopically, applying Him only to my own portion in life. Talking to pastors everyday reminds me that we serve an incredibly big God – a God who is active all over the world. How grateful I am; how grateful we are to partner alongside

My son and I were going over his narrative writing recently, and he told me that the word inspire is a verb - an action word (this is where I quickly realized that I am not "smarter than a fifth grader"). We looked up the word inspired, and found that it means to be influenced or guided by something divine or supernatural. I think everything that happens is in divine order by GOD; everything
