		<description><![CDATA[&#60;image courtesy of carbonNYC @ Flickr&#62; I have never met a ‘typical’ church planter. Sure, assessment helps determine whether someone has a demonstrable history of the kind of gifting and passion needed to help find success in a planting endeavor, but beyond certain gifts, history, and focus, it seems there&#8217;s no real &#8216;church planter&#8217; mold.
