How not to Church Plant

Our goal is to start a church that will reach the city of Boulder with the Gospel. And, we are doing it the wrong way. The books I read talk about raising support, having a strict launch schedule, etc. What is our brilliant plan? We don't have one. We are just taking it one step at a time. What's are secret fund raising technique? Don't have a clue. We don't have many real strong churches backing us. We don't have a brilliant strategy. We don't have one dime of money promised to us. I am just taking it one day at a time. I work for a good company. I am building friendships. I beginning to leverage those friendships to make disciples.That's it. Don't you have to live it before you can teach it? Don't we have to figure out how to live as missionaries with real jobs in real life before we can help other believers do the same? Some times I think we are crazy. Often I wonder if we are going to crash and burn. We might. But, Jesus brought us here. He's here with us. Maybe, just maybe He will help us figure this thing out. And, that's what we are going to do. That's our brilliant strategy.  Try real hard to stay close to Jesus, hear His voice, and then do what He says. Probably won't make much of a cool church planter book one day will it?  Oh yeah, please don't make fun of me because I wrote a few blogs on "developing a strategy" earlier. Please.
