Church Planting Lesson Learned

As someone who has been involved in several church plants in the past: Be watchful as far as who indicates interest in starting a work, especially as far as their commitment level. Learn to accurately assess their interest. People can sound very "gung ho" who are in fact, malcontents as far as where they are. A work that begins on a basis of discontentment is not very promising.
