A good article on church planting here by Bill Hybels from Willow Creek in Chicago.

Good insight here… Bill; “I think [church planting] is inherently messy. I think it’s inherently confusing. I think it’s inherently complex. We can help, and council, and bless each other, but one of the toughest things I’ve ever been through is the first five or ten years of planting Willow,”
Good thoughts on managing priority of the family too.
My friend Jamie Freeman who has recently planted H3O in Dee Why said as much recently too – a hard road! But ultimately a good thing to spend your life on.
