D. I know in our context that the history of successful church plants started from our congregation had been disappointing. Church planting is needed. For our church, fear of failure looms over the desire to plant. We have launched new endeavors, gone on mission trips and our finances have struggled. So we fear making a commitment that we know we cannot keep or would obligate us into deficit. With the current economy and being a church that does not have a high per capita giving, we find it difficult to overcome the fear of failure. Good word J. D.
