The Faithful Church Planter by my friend Tony Merida sees through the 'cool' church planter image that has let us down. Tony guides us back to what we really believe. This book will help raise up a new generation of faithful and fruitful church planters who deserve to be celebrated and supported." Ray Ortlund, Renewal Ministries, Nashville
