This book was sent to me by Bro. Marion Reed, secretary-treasurer of the Missionary Baptist Association of Texas. I have read four chapters so far. In what I read, the author gives his testimony with his first church plant, and compares data from fast-growing church plants and stagnant church plants.
His premise is that church plants should launch with 100 members (the "Launch Team" should consist of 100 people) and if a church plant does not reach 200 attendees in three years, it never will. He did say that his data and goals applied to towns with populations of 30,000 or more, so Mission: Brownwood is off the hook. However, it is our prayer and plan to work hard so that the Lord will bless us with a fast growing church. Hopefully, I'll be able to use some of the tactics from this book to help reach that goal.
