ALPHARETTA, Ga. \u2013 A diverse class of church planters representing seven languages, 30 U.S. states and five Canadian provinces attended Send Network Orientation November 6-8 at the North American Mission Board (NAMB). These new missionaries recently completed the Send Network assessment process to become church planters and were sent by 160 churches.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For these new planters, orientation provided an opportunity to fellowship, learn from leading church planting practitioners and worship together. Through six sessions, planters dove deep into Send Network\u2019s five values of \u201cseek first the kingdom,\u201d \u201cdeepen devotion,\u201d \u201cstick together,\u201d \u201cthink multiplication,\u201d and \u201cengage your city.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are an answer to prayer that we\u2019ve been praying for years and years,\u201d Noah Oldham, Send Network\u2019s senior director of culture and care, reminded planters at the start of the three days.<\/p>\n

Send Network\u2019s value of \u201cdeepen devotion\u201d was displayed throughout the three-day training and equipping event as church planters took extended time to pray over their cities and one another. Vance Pitman, president of Send Network, told planters, \u201cPrayer is a measure of our dependence on and desperation for God.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In addition to the 202 church planters, Send Network hosted 39 students from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (MBTS) to observe and catch the vision for expanding God\u2019s kingdom through church planting. A pilot project between Midwestern and Send Network is meant to foster a greater missions mindset in students, in part by giving them unique opportunities like this to learn from and see church planting in action.<\/p>\n

One of the students, Romello Yaqub, said, \u201cSomething that has been sticking out to me is the centerpiece being the kingdom. And we just get to play a little part in that, and God gets the glory for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matthew Tramel, a Ph. D student at MBTS said, \u201cTo be at NAMB and to get time with Send Network leadership has been eye-opening and really encouraging \u2013 to see how much the leadership here cares for their planters, and also what it means for students who are potentially wanting to go into planting itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

His wife, Catie, a master\u2019s student at the seminary, added, \u201c\u201cIt\u2019s been encouraging to see the vision casting that they\u2019re giving us and to catch that vision, and then also be assured of the resources that they have to offer for their church planters and their families.\u201d<\/p>\n

This Orientation was the first to occur since Send Network revealed their Mobilization Pathway<\/a> this past summer during the Southern Baptist Convention\u2019s Annual meeting<\/a>. The pathway is designed to help churches, regardless of age or size, take their next step in church planting.<\/p>\n

Send Network\u2019s vice president of mobilization, Matt Carter, urged planters to think multiplication from the beginning of their plant. \u201cThe multiplication of disciples and churches is not a manmade plan,\u201d he said, \u201cIt\u2019s a God-made plan. It was born in His heart. It was breathed out through Scripture. It plays out from the beginning of Scripture to the end of Scripture.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event also took place on the heels of another record Annie Armstrong Easter Offering\u00ae in which Southern Baptists generously gave 70.2 million dollars to fund church planting and compassion ministry throughout North America. \u201cThe influence and resources that have been entrusted to our network are a precious gift of stewardship. We have the privilege of stewarding that together,\u201d said Send Network\u2019s executive vice president, Travis Ogle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
