"Dr. Bob Miller offers an anthology of instruction and inspiration on church planters: the 'marines' of the ministry. While God has called some of us to serve ministries in crisis and transition, it is the church planter who leads the fissional charge of the gospel. Read, enjoy, enlist!" -- Dr. Bruce McCoy, Senior Pastor of Canaan Baptist Church The ministry of Dr. Jerry Falwell, Thomas Road Baptist Church and the Liberty University educational system have provided one of the most comprehensive local church-based ministries in the world, paralleling the outreach of the early church in reaching the present and future generations. With the passing of Dr. Falwell, Jonathan Falwell continues to pursue his father's aggressive strategy of planting churches into the next millennium. A Legacy of Church Planting is a narrative of the legacy and impact of Dr. Falwell's ministry on a select group of individuals who accepted his mandate to plant churches across America and reach cities for Christ. Although they share a common bond, each story is different and diverse. This is as Dr. Falwell would have wanted it, because he embraced a diversity that encouraged church planters to start churches that were different in their approach, methods and styles, while remaining true to the message of Jesus' redemptive work. You will be inspired by their heroic stories, which span three decades, and their faith, vision and passion to plant churches that will continue to impact the world for generations to come.
