May 17th: Church Planter Appreciation Day

I hereby declare that May 17th is now Church Planter Appreciation Day.Why today? The end of spring is a time when many church planters feel tired. How do I know this? Because I'm tired and many of my friends who are church planters are also tired. This portrait of the tired-looking apostle Paul may very well be depicting a time in the late spring. :)Church planting is really fun and really hard. Do you know a church planter? Today is Church Planter Appreciation Day, a great day to give your favorite church planter a hug and some encouragement.Go do it.And mark this special day on your calendar for years to come. I'll remind you next year. This is going to catch on.
