1. Barnabaus Team Local pastors who are your advocates
Don’t Skip This Team • Planters often skip this team and then wonder why they don’t have a warm reception for their fellow pastors.
Barnabas: Encouragement • Opened doorways • Acts 9 • Authenticated plants • Acts 11 • Empowered young leaders • Acts 13 • Acts 15
Planter Advocate Team • Every planter needs local pastors that are advocates for his planting vision.
Predictable Planting Pattern • Always started in synagogue • Acts 14:1- custom • Mixed Results • Heard gladly: Acts 13:44 • Talked abusively: Acts 13:45 • Fertile on fringes • Acts 13:48- Gentiles • God Fearers
Pastor Courtesy Visits • No Surprises • Share Vision • Ask Insights • Ask His Vision • Solicit Counsel • Solicit Prayer • Seek Advocate • Handle church shoppers with integrity
Two Reactions • KMP: Kingdom minded pastors • NIMBY: Not in my backyard • Threatened, territorial • Filled with jealousy: Acts13:45 • Test your maturity: • Handle with G&T
Interaction • You have made an appointment with a local pastor. After you describe your basic vision, he asked you how your church will be different than all the other churches in town. How will you answer him?
