I received an email titled “Previous launch date February 14, 2010.”

It read:
“I say previous launch date because he has officially removed an official launch date from the calendar.” Said the Church Planter’s coach.  [The Church Planter] had the school lined up and was stoked about it.  The board said yes, the principle said yes.  Everything was rocking and rolling then he heard back that the janitor refuses to open the building for them so they can’t do church there.  [The CP] tried everything with this janitor but he flat out refuses to open and close the building…”

WOW, just like that the church plant was put on hold.  All because one person didn’t buy in. One person didn’t see the purpose behind what was happening.   This story shows how one person [the janitor] can make the difference in a church plant.

What difference could you make in a church plant?
