Sending your own people to form a new congregation may seem like a crazy idea. In reality, biblically, we are to train up and equip the saints so that they can do the work of the ministry. People can't go to work if we don't release them to go. We can raise up leaders everyday, but if we hoard them for ourselves, simply to make our lives within ministry easier, we fail on a part of discipleship - which is to release the disciple into ministry.
For the ones being sent out, it may feel like family being torn apart at first. God doesn't call us to live a life of comfort and luxury, but to go and make disciples. Sometimes, this will look like mission trips, other times church events, but at times it may look like being sent out to form a new church plant in an unreached community. You are the saints that have been equipped to do the work of the ministry. God has chosen you to reach others for Him. You are on mission, you are awesome, you are the CHURCH.
