Resistance to revival: South Dakota pastor becomes an unlikely church planter

YANKTON, S.D. (BP) – Jeff Mueller never intended to plant a church. In fact, he was pretty loud in his opposition to its widespread practice while training to be a minister.

But starting in his teens, he had every intention on entering the ministry. Mueller had been a church attender and an active part of his youth group for years. Then one day he realized he was just playing the part, and it came from God speaking directly through His Word.
