In Episode 375 of the NewChurches Q&A Podcast, Daniel and Ed do a live podcast recording at Exponential 2019 in Orlando. On this episode, Daniel and Ed discuss church planting and revitalization in the context of Finland, Europe. Here is today’s question:
“I am from Finland. In Europe, we have a different situation in planting. Should we revitalize old churches or plant new churches? Somehow they seem to be opposite things. Is there anything new in that area, like research or studies, to put some content to this question?”
In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
- A picture of what it is like to plant in a different country
