Craig makes some predictions about church planting in sydney:

“I imagine Acts 29 will be receiving many applications from Australia over the coming months. Last week Driscoll hinted that he would be returning to Sydney in 5 years time. By Monday, this had shrunk down to 18 months. I’m guessing that he expects there will be some local Acts 29 churches to encourage by that time. Actually, I’ve already heard some rumours of such. I suspect that Driscoll sees Sydney as a ripe field, awaiting the right harvesters.

My bold prediction is that we (Sydney Anglicans) are going to lose a lot of very talented young people to Acts 29 affiliated independant churches over the next five years…”

I think his predictions are spot on, and I couldn’t be more glad. Roll on the church planting!

(Not sure if this is supposed to be public, so off-record and unofficially, let me hint that a growing ‘alliance’ of independent evangelical churches in Australia recently committed to planting 50 churches in the next 15 years. Pray for harvesters!)
