CHAD project. Why) Believe ~~ In Church Planting by Daniel Simmons, F irst Baptist Church of Elyria I am just like you. I don' t need even one more thing in my life right now! So, as the newest member of the Ohio Church Planting Ta k Team, why did I get invol ved? Becau e I believe in church planting! You probabl y know the obviou reasons: stati tical l y, new churches reach a higher proportion of unchurcbed people; reali tically, a healthy e tablished church will onl y grow 10% a year but a new work can easil y increa e 100% a year; practical l y, a new church produces a new " per onal– ity" that will reach a new audience; and evangel istically, tl1ere are certainl y BBS Offers Extension Courses B aptist 13ible Scn1inary, Lar~ Sun1mi t, J>ennsyJvania, is offering two classes by extcnsi<)n at Gral1am Ii oad l laptisl Church, ("uyaJ1oga r;aJ ls, ()hio, lhi~month.

But I believe in church planting most of all becau e it is my ''job!" I grew up around home nus ion - 18 year observing FBHM and Continent.tu . I aw tJ1at effecti ve, 13ible-111andated church planting doesn' t happen by accident. It happens intentionally, when God's people see it as their divinel y commissioned "job." Sure I believe God is leading me to eventually be a church planter . But it's tny "job,, now, where I am, however I can help. It i our "job" in Ohio. But i it your j ob yet? When it i , you' II believe in church planting, too. Dr. Charles Pausley Dies Dr. Charle Pau Icy, Sr., was u hered into heaven on Jul y 14 , after a brief illnes . He wa 73 year of age.
