I have spent all day in Orlando with the leadership of over a dozen different denominations in Orlando.
Today, I announced new research we are planning on church planting assessment and other topics. We also heard from three speakers today.
Stephen Gray talked about planting fast growing churches based on his research. He has written Planting Fast Growing Churches.
Ron Sylvia of the NEXT Initiative talked about creating coaching networks. He has written a book called Starting Churches on Purpose.
Tom Clegg of CoachNet talked about coaching networks. He has written a book called Missing in America.
Tomorrow, we will hear from Mark Reynolds from the Redeemer Church Planting Center. I will also share some research from best practice analysis.
More soon...

In the nature of the individual, is there a difference between an entreprenuer and a church-planter?

You turned me on to Tim Keller, of whom I'm now a fan. I'm curious to the success and effectiveness of their Entrepreneurship Initiative.

Great, Great, Great! Ed, thanks for modeling networking by including so many folks, examples, and opinions in all your sessions and presentations, even though you could talk the whole time and that would be fine by me. God is using you. I look forward to the downloads when you post them. - Allen

Michael,
I think you can't be a planter without being one. I don't know much about Keller's insitute. Sorry.
