You’re right Tony, Tom Rawls still is a great pastor, I can understand why you’re disappointed he left. But we’re delighted that he is now leading an awesome church in Norwich, England!!

Thanks. 3 from 9, that’s tough. Although it’s way ahead of those churches that never took the risk. Wondering what we could all learn from the ones that did and didn’t get off the ground. It would be a great topic for a student essay at Harvest Bible College!

What a great tree!

Having been involved with Harvest/Destiny church for so many years it is disappointing to see that of the 9 church plants only 3 survive.

Richmond AOG has always been a great place to fellowship ever since the “temple” days.

Tom Rawls was such a great pastor. He should never have left.

John, great to hear from someone close to the action. What have you learnt about the characteristics of healthy parent churches?

Steve, it was good to see that map, I had never seen it before. I was Asst Pastor with Tom Rawls at Moorabbin, and I planted Mordialloc, South Melbourne and Gateway. Gateway was responsible for planting Korrumburra and they planted a couple of other Churches. It really is great to see the family tree!

That is really really good. inspiring what can happen, there would have been endless excuses for Richmond not to plant churches (got to look after home soil and so forth), I’m so impressed

Steve,

My Church is Newcastle Christian Centre, formally known as Hamilton AOG or Hamilton Christam Family Centre, I believe it rates a mention as a flagship church having planted any churches in the Hunter Valley
