		<description><![CDATA[plantMIDWEST is about raising up teams of missionaries, men and women responding to a call to go, to take God&#8217;s Gospel to places where it is not.  One way that people are responding to God&#8217;s call is to go and help people, to love people in perhaps their greatest time of need, natural disaster.  Jesus said, &#8221;In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in &#8230; <a href="http://www.plantmidwest.com/2013/05/23/responding-to-suffering-in-city/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Take a gander through John 11. Why did Jesus weep? Not cry. Not sniffle. Weep. Hopefully, the question seems odd. His friend died, why wouldn’t he weep, right? But then again, Jesus knew he would raise Lazarus up from the dead. So we ponder, if Jesus knew he was going to raise Lazarus, why did he weep? This was the question proposed in the sermon this past Sunday, a worthy and accurate account of why Jesus wept.

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I have been considering the role of affections in our corporate worship.  I believe when we truly come before God in gathered worship, among our emotive responses should be  joy, gratitude and repentance.  The scripture commands those who worship to respond with joy, praise and various other human emotions  connected with love and thanksgiving.   I ask our team of 8 pastor/leaders to pray and consider how we might assist our people to grow in their knowledge and affection toward the gospel. I desire that we  &#8230; <a href="http://www.plantmidwest.com/2013/03/09/ok-everybody-stand-and-lift-your-hands-we-are-going-to-make-you-worship-even-if-you-dont-want-to/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The vision of plantMIDWEST is pretty simple&#8230; we want to build a team of missionaries among leaders who are committed to a high view of Scripture, feet firmly planted in the never changing Gospel and empowered by the Holy Spirit. We are gathering in four different regions including the Ozarks, Kansas City, Chicago, and St. Louis.  But I want to encourage you to check out what God is doing in an area just a short drive north of Maine, Quebec &#8230; <a href="http://www.plantmidwest.com/2013/03/08/transform-quebec/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The church was fully operational: healthy, growing, and everything was going great. Only one problem remained. It was all still in my head. God first called me to plant a church over nine years before I began. Every time someone mentioned church planting my heart began to race, my eyes swelled with tears, and my mind couldn’t shut it off. Three years in seminary and two in a pastorate proved frustrating as I pursued people to help. Each ended with &#8230; <a href="http://www.plantmidwest.com/2013/03/04/how-do-i-know-when-it-is-time-to-go-vision-burn-to-launch-propulsion/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

Some of the best times I&#8217;ve had with my youngest have been driving to and from, and in that blind.   There really is nothing like it, but you know I&#8217;ve learned something.

While the article is focused on existing church pastors, I couldn’t help but think these questions are for EVERY church planter too. This excerpt can be read more fully here. When was the last time I heard from God? What should our church be known for in this community?
