But the principle here is still encouraging. I love those who are still involved in new things when they are my age. And you may not be considered young anymore. Of course, this was written to a young pastor, not to a local church. “Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young.” 1 Timothy 4:12 Contentment is being satisfied where God has you today.
Jesus talked about the “life” contained in the smallest of seeds. 5 Bible Verses of Encouragement for Church Planters “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin.” Zechariah 4:10Įvery living thing begins somewhere.
If you need it, I hope these reminders help. These have been encouraging verses to me in my work. In those moments, the best I can do is point them back to truth. (Imagine launching in the middle of a pandemic.)Īt times I simply don’t know what to say to someone. The idea for this post came after a conversation with a very stressed and frustrated planter. I have learned there are days when you simply need outside encouragement. Plus, through our ministry, we have assisted a dozen or so nonprofits get off the ground. Since surrendering to vocational ministry in my late 30’s, we started our own nonprofit, have been involved in the starting two churches and the revitalization of three churches. I don’t want to abuse Scripture, but there are certainly Bible principles which have multiple applications. However, these verses could encourage those attempting church revitalization.Įven those those starting a nonprofit ministry or attempting to operate a small business might be encouraged by them. This post is titled “5 Bible Verses of Encouragement for Church Planters”.
