I’m standing in the Manchester, NH airport, heading home after the Rhode Island church plant partnership team retreat.  This was a great two day experience getting to know the church plant and partnership team.  This is a first for me so I’m really excited on two fronts.

First, I love church planting.  My time at Suncrest has lit a fire under me for church planting.  I believe that church planting is the very best evangelism tool we have as churches.

Second, I have always wanted to get to know Restoration House Ministries (RHM).  RHM is the church planting group for New England sponsored by Christians Churches around the nation.  With only 1 independent Christian church per 876,390 people (as compared to 1 per 50,000 people in other areas of the United States) it is easy to see why they are needed.

The newest plant and the one I will encourage through the partnership team participation on behalf of Suncrest is going to be in Providence county, Rhode Island.  Less than 18% of all residents in Rhode Island attend any Catholic or Protestant Church.  This is prime territory for a new church.

The launch will be October of this year, so pleae pray for this new church work as there is huge potential for hundreds upon hundreds of people coming to Christ as a result.
