CASTING VISION
1) Model evangelism personally before you share vision with others. To be credible about planting a church to reach people for Jesus, you must already be developing friendships and getting involved in people's lives who need Jesus. (This is a point I am definitely weak in. Get to it Rich!)
2) Decide who are the leaders in your church and meet with them one by one. This group includes influencers and blockers. Meet with people individually for lunch, handball, etc.--do something with them that they enjoy doing.
3) Sharing the vision with the leadership group at your church. Don't ask for a quick decision about the vision. That will probably lead to a "no." It takes six times of sharing the vision and then many will say "yes." So...vision cast in multiple ways over a period of time.
