Growing Together Podcast: Storefront Missionaries

Church planting is a marathon, not a sprint. However, supporting churches and presbyteries too often expect the plant to achieve self-sustaining status quickly. What if the planter establishes a physical presence in a facility early on? That space becomes an incubator out of which a church can grow. Join Dan Millward from The Detroit Project as he shares a model for planting that answers challenges often faced by planters today.
