I saw this link on Rindy’s fb page. I was intrigued and came to your blog to read it.
Rindy’s willingness to share openly about her journey is so Rindy…for those who know her…she is willing to allow all to see her transparency and let God bounce her back up again and again.

Every church planter’s story is as unique as the plant.

I was the lead pastor of the church plant that never launched. Rindy’s account is right on. The fact that Rindy and her awesome sons have continued the ministry journey is a huge win for Jesus, the church they’ve connected with, and me too! I love these guys and am glad you interviewed them!

Hey Rindy!
I am so glad that you’ve emerged from the non-launch and got right back into the groove. I know that after I closed the church plant I was doing (circa 2003) it almost killed me. Depression, anger, and the like hounded me for a few years. Working through that, and learning all the lessons God had for me, have made me a much more adept pastor today.
I love you and your family. I hope the boys are well and connecting with Jesus.
–Joe

Pete: I always thought with all my study and preparation, that I would not be one of those church planters that failed to launch and sustain like those other guys. Wayne Park was one of the guys I talked to before we did our preview services for Revolution Church Sacramento and he really gave me some great insight, as he has in responding to the 10 questions in the post. Sometimes we move as if we know more than God. I concur with Wayne on many things he points out from his experience and am thankful that there are guys like Erwin McManus and countless others that have not tasted success in their early endeavors as they were prepared and humbled for future ministry. Thanks for the encouraging example and for your support :)

Greg: We disbanded quite awhile before I pulled the plug on Revolution Church Sacramento. We tried to regroup and get away from being an exclusively Asian-American church as I felt God calling us to minister in a multi-cultural context, but that never really shaped up, so we just shut things down and waited to see where God would lead us next. I never imagined it would be Beaverton, OR though.

Thanks for following our journey and know that while we are in a new place with new people right now, I think there will be more to our story that will continue to unfold as we are prepared for greater works. Thanks too for your prayers!!!
