» Heart of a founder: Rick

I’m trying to eliminate paper from my life. But when this letter arrived four years ago I carefully preserved it.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the sort of people who make great founders of movements. I think this letter from Rick reveals some of what it takes to be a great founder. He’s planted and grown one of the healthiest churches I know of and he’s planting other churches in Australia. Despite the demands of his local ministry, you just can’t keep Rick away from Papua New Guinea and the slums of Port Moresby where he partners with a local leader in church planting and development work.

Read it and see what you think. How does God shape the heart of a founder?

Lesson: Great founders are restless because they are compelled by the love of Christ.
