Things to do just before quitting
your church plant
• Meet with a coach for 90 days. Once a week will be a good
investment even if you don’t continue later.
• Go away by yourself to fast and pray. Take water, a Bible,
your clothes and yourself. If you were spiritual enough to start
this thing you need to be spiritual enough to end it on the same
note.
• Find a partner who is also a church partner – something
you should have done when you first started.
• Get someone else to speak for you for two weeks at least,
especially if you’ve spoken for 15 weeks in a row without
a break.
• You need to be evaluated by a good friend or your coach
at an in-depth level.
Things to do just before starting

• Get a coach
• Establish a team who are backing you
• Establish financial backing (secure missions support)
Coffee
• Pura Vida www.puravidacoffee.com.
Why not combine your church’s need for high quality coffee
with a great cause? This company ploughs all of its profits back
into their ministry to orphans in El Salvador. They important raw
beans from their own fields and fresh roast them in Seattle, vacuum
pack them, and ship them out to your location overnight. For about
the price of any other good coffee that’s out there, you can
support this great cause. At our church people buy the coffee by
the pound to take home for use during the week.
• Peet’s Coffee www.peets.com.
If you are just going for great cups of coffee Peet’s Coffee
is an excellent choice. I buy it over the internet even though I
can get Starbucks for free (my daughter works at Starbucks).
Chairs

– Church Chair Industries
Communion
• The simplest approach by far to sharing in the Lord’s
Supper is “Communion in a Cup”. For about a dime per
person you can serve both the bread and the juice in one convenient
container that is sealed, transportable and easy to clean up. http://www.go2logos.com/churchgoods/
