Ann Roth began the day with the story of one young woman she met. Ann stressed that church planting is all about reaching one person. One person at a time meets Jesus.

Persons shared a variety of reasons of what they hoped to take away from the day. 1) How do we create a parenting environment? 2) Raising/Training/Deploying Planters.
3) Awareness of why we plant churches. 4) Perspective/confirmation. 5)Examples of how small churches can parent churches. 6)Ministering to church planting couples. 7) Building confidence for church planting.

One of the questions for the day is how to balance reaching out from within a structure that spends a lot of time reaching those inside. At the end of the day the hope is that each participant will have a goal and action steps for accomplishing something to reach others for Jesus.
