Fit for the field (week three)

Learning more and more about my own insuffiency, I am so glad that I get to learn from others, especially their mistakes. As we go out and plant a church, I am so grateful that I had this week to learn from people who are experienced and learn from their successes and mistakes. I think we all learn from mistakes, but we would be so much more blessed if we could learn from other people’s mistakes too so we don’t have to go through the pain ourselves. What an amazing time to hear how God has worked in these men’s lives. I was blessed.
