Planting Churches "is a God thing"

It is well known that nothing worthwhile comes easy. This is even more true when you're talking about the work of the kingdom, particularly church planting. Planting churches "is a God thing". Why?

However, planting churches demands hard work and sacrifice as experienced by Samantha Keller, a pastor's wife who writes about the church planting experiences in a blog entitled "The Biggest Surprises Of Church Planting". Read about her journey here.
