Podcast description: Bill Bogges,  is a church planter with Team Evangelical Alliance Mission (TEAM) and has been in church planting in Europe for almost 25 years. He spoke at Dallas Theological Seminary conference for his 9 principles of church planting.  This interview is helpful for any and all interested in church planting in Europe.

 Here are eight of my key observations that I took particular note on:

1. It took on average 15 years to start a church in France
2. Get the church planted....Stay focused on church planting....they axed some programs!
3. Long-term relationships are vital for church planting!
4. Study the culture...be a learner...study hard!
5. Go for the cities!--- plant in big cities...* I like that...He says, 80% of the population is in the cities! Many plant in rural areas.
6. Heart Language of the churches....need to be national...
7. Evaluate what kind of time line you are going into....sowing seeds, or harvesting... some places are not ready for a mass revival.
8. Work with other churches!

I thought his points were accurate and practical...each major country within Europe will vary...but these were good general principles for European church planting.
