Clay is the executive director of the calvary global network and Janelle is the secret to his success.

Welcome to another episode of the Cultivate Church Planting Podcast. I'm your host Brian Kelly, and today, we're diving into a story that's as rich as the soil south of the equator. Our guests today, Monolo Matos from Calvary Chapel Lima, and John Bonner of CCBC Peru, have a passion to see new churches planted in this thriving region.

We'll explore the history of Christianity in Peru, the current gospel response, and the hunger for new churches. Monolo and John shed light on why South America should be a priority for church planting, highlighting challenges that demand creative solutions. Funding, education, and support emerge as pivotal needs for church planters.

Stay tuned to be inspired, challenged, and moved to action in the mission of church planting.

Church planting and missions go hand in hand. We are called to go into all the world and preach the gospel and make disciples. It’s interesting that in the early days of the church, they fulfilled this great commission by going out and planting churches. We start at our Jerusalem, but we must have a far-reaching vision to go to the ends of the earth and, you know, that’s exactly what today’s guest did.

Hey everyone and welcome back to another episode of the Cultivate Church Planting podcast. I’m your host Brian Kelly and today I’m joined by expert missionary and church planter Rod Thompson.

Rod has pastored and church planted all over Europe in places like Hungary, former Yugoslavia, Serbia, Austria, and Italy. He is currently the founder and director of Cross Culture Missions, an organization established to encourage and equip pastors and leaders from every nation, tribe, tongue, and people. Rod is a Calvary Chapel OG and it was nice to spend some time with him on this episode.

I’m also joined once again by the man himself, the executive director of CGN, Clay Worrell. This is a great conversation so let’s get right into it.

The Importance of Mentorship & Church Planting Networks – Will Torrez & Daniel Williams

Welcome to another episode of the cultivate church planting podcast. I’m your host Brian Kelly and today we are talking about the importance of mentorship and the value of church planting networks. You know a lot of times we church planters think that we can go it alone, or have success in planting with just a small team and hard work. But today, we are going to see that being part of a bigger organization of mentors and coaches can make things soo much easier.

Joining me today is Will Torres, who is an experience church planter, and pastor of Proclaim church in Boyton Beach Florida. Will is part of the Calvary Global Network, as well as Harbor Network, and he is going to talk with us today about the benefits of mentorship and how important it is to be a part of a network focused on church planting. Also joining us today--back for more--is my friend Daniel Williams. Daniel has been on the show numerous times and is something of a church planter himself. Daniel and will have known each other for years in Calvary Chapel circles, and Daniel’s church helped mentor and then sent out Will and the team to plant their church. These guys have a lot of hands-on experience and wisdom to share with us today. Enjoy!

Welcome to another episode of the cultivate church planting podcast. Today we have with us on the show Mike Neglia from the Expositors Collective.

We are also joined by Nick Cady who is the founder of the cultivate church planting program and one of the executive team members of the Calvary Global Network.

On today’s show we will be talking about the importance of expositional bible teaching when planting a church. For new church planters, the temptation is often to do short, easy to listen to topical messages. Today we will see that this is not always the best approach to building a healthy church. Nike and Mike are good friends and we had a really great conversation about Bible teaching in church planting.

One more thing before we get started. We want to let you know that there will be an Expositors Collective training weekend in Austin Texas on June 2nd-3rd. To register or find out more information visit http://www.expositorscollective.com

Welcome to the cultivate church planting podcast. I’m your host Brian Kelly and today I have with me on the show - once again! - Shannon Quintana and her dad Bill Welsh. Pastor Bill and Shannon are gifted musicians, songwriters, and worship leaders with many years of worship leading experience. They are here to talk about the worship ministry, and the Worship leader in church planting.

We will be discussing things like how to find a worship leader, how much skill and training they should have, what can we do if we don’t have someone to lead worship, and how can we develop a healthy worship ministry from the ground up.

There is a lot of good stuff, and great personal and practical wisdom in this episode. I know you are going to enjoy the combined worship wisdom of Shannon Quintana and Bill Welsh as they talk about The worship leader.

On today’s episode Brian is joined once again by church planting expert Daniel Williams, and also by special guest Casey Cleveland who is the pastor of the Avenue Church and is a church planter from Spanish River Church in Boca Raton Florida. Spanish River has planted hundreds of churches in 38 countries over the past 40 years, and Church planting is a core part of their DNA. Casey talks with Brian and Daniel about how churches can create a culture that values and supports the important ministry of church planting. He also has some great advice for those who are not in leadership at their church, but who want to see more focus on church planting.

Well, the answer is found in today’s episode, because Jeff and Jimmy did just that. Enjoy!
