Being overwhelmed changed Bruce Wesley, founder and senior pastor of Clear Creek Community Church. He was overwhelmed by the number of lost people in Houston, Texas, and by the vast Kingdom resources that never got utilized in the multiplication of disciples, churches and movements. Dr. Wesley was also overwhelmed by how long it takes and how much it costs to recruit, train, coach and resource a church planter to plant a church. How could the church reach so many with the gospel with so few resources when it takes so long to prepare one church planter? This question changed him from thinking about ministry like a golf team to thinking about ministry like a basketball team. It changed his ministry from an individual activity to a team sport. Bruce Wesley began to believe in collaboration. This book is his story and story of the dynamic Houston Church Planting Network.
