Preacherman

After Dad retired, they engaged part-time in church planting. They would go to a new community that had no church of their brand [patent pending]. Then, they would go around meeting people wherever they could. Some times they saved a new contact right in their booth at Shoney’s or by a gas pump. Most of the time, however, they saved them in their living rooms while doing door-to-door visitations. When there were enough converts, they would organize a small church of their brand [patent pending].

A new couple has moved in. He is a retired pastor. She is a retired pastor’s wife and walks the recommended 1.47 steps behind him. Together, they are a very personable couple who are looking for a church home. There are no churches of their brand [patent pending] in Nashville. They remind me of my parents in many ways.

In the meantime, they sit with different residents at every meal and visit with them. It may be their behaviors are inherent in a pastor’s nature. Or, it may be they are church planting. If so, more power to them.
