Diary of a Church Planter - who are your friends?

We all need them. Church planters need them. Even though church planting normally requires a certain personality - highly motivated, self-starter, normally extrovert (but not necessarily), happy working on his\her own and in his\her own company...church planters still need friends. In fact, church planting provides a great opportunity to model friendship - healthy, open, vulnerable, encouraging, challenging, loving, hospitable friendships in the church and outside the church. Who can you be real with? Who can you be yourself with? Who fortifies you? Cultivate those friendships.
