Plantings”:
a

upon

to
guide
the
rebuilding

“Nehemiah
as
a
Model
for
Church
Plantings”
is
the
creation
of
published
author,
William
L.
Wagner,
a
graduate
civil
engineer,
a
business
owner,
a
pastor,
a
church
planter,
a
missionary,
a
seminary

and
a

He
received
a

He

were
missionaries
with
the

Baptist
mission
board
to
Europe,
the
Middle
East,
and
North
Africa
for
thirty-five
years.
Upon
retiring
from
the
mission
board,
he
was
asked
to
be
the
professor

missions

the
starting
of
ten
others,
mostly

second
vice
president
of
the
Southern
Baptist
Convention.
He
is
also
the
founder

the
Global

Forum.
Wagner
shares,
“Nehemiah
was
given
a
very
difficult
job
by
God
in
that
he
was
to
rebuild
the
walls
of
Jerusalem.
Today
we
have
also
been
given
a
difficult
task,
and
that
is
to
rebuild
the
church
of
God.
One
way
to
do
this
is
by
planning
new
churches.
Nehemiah
was
a
master
planner
and
doer.
How
he
rebuilt
the
walls
can
also
give
us
some
good
advice
as
to
how
we
can
start
new
churches.
Nehemiah
prayed,
planned,
and
did
the
necessary
work.
He
was
successful.
This
book
shows
us
that
we
can
learn
from
Nehemiah.
Also,
the
book,
in
the
second
section,
gives
some
practical
ideas
for
the
church
planter.
One
of
the
obstacles
Nehemiah
faced
was
attacks
from
both
the
outside
and
the
inside.
He
had
enemies
who
did
not
want
the
wall
to
be
built,
and
he
also
faced
problems
among
his
own
people.
Every
church
planter
will
face
many
of
the
same
types
of
problems.
Once
again,
we
can
learn
how
Nehemiah
dealt
with
the
spiritual
warfare
that
so
often
is
present.”
