So glad to have discovered your "UmBlog" by clicking on your profile from the comment you left on our "M Blog". You have several interesting posts, especially the church planting articles. I love the quote on the YWAM CP Coaches site by Curtis Sergeant about "Never fear making mistakes" I even posted an entry on the subject here.

Keep up the good work on the blog.
