The Church Planter’s Toolbox

by Dr. Douglas Levesque

Congratulations! The burden of planting a Biblical New Testament Local Church is upon you. What an incredible opportunity it is to be a part of a Pauline type work in the service of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In order to help prepare you for this incredible task, the figure of a builder along with his toolbox is used as a metaphor for the inspired church planter. Just as a planter must be prepared and skilled to accomplish his task, an inspired builder must both own and masterfully operate many tools in order to start and finish his task.
