Montgomery & Howard on the Great Commission

It was the Upstream Collective’s privilege to welcome several U.S. church planters from the Acts 29 network in our most recent JetSet trip in two key global cities—London and Paris. In addition to contributing to and helping shape the conversation, these men were looking for ways to connect with existing church planters and identify effective ways to take the gospel to the nations.

As the planter of Sojourn Community Church in Louisville, Kentucky and a catalyst for the Sojourn network, Daniel Montgomery is an innovator and contemplative voice on all things church. During a video interview in Paris, France, Montgomery shares some of his passion for seeing all of the Great Commission obeyed and proclaimed throughout the world.

Having planted several churches personally, been a part of assisting in other plants, and having coached a number of influential pastors, Brian Howard has consistently lived out his commitment to see disciples of Christ made in unreached, secular societies. Now leading Sojourn Community Church’s global church planting efforts, Howard continues to be a leader and learner in taking the gospel to the peoples of the world. In this piece, Howard encourages churches to be involved in international church planting.
