I had thought of writing an article regarding church planting in the U.S. but then I came across Dave Doran’s blog article and realized there was nothing I could say that he didn’t say better so I encourage you to read this article in its entirety and contemplate deeply the contents.
Church Planting in the U.S. -Dave Doran
Here is an excerpt:
How does this apply to church planting in the United States? It reminds us that having a foundation laid does not mean the job is done. It is certainly true that the foundation has been laid in the U.S. God has blessed us richly with solid, Bible-believing local churches. But in every region of our country there are still communities (and their size and number are growing) that do not have a church like that. It is the responsibility of the existing churches to establish churches that can expand the work of the Great Commission into those communities.

Good article. There is much work to be done!
It amazes me that we have been thinking and talking along almost the exact same lines as Dr. Doran wrote, yet with no contact with him and several thousand of miles between us. Maybe it is a NT thing?
