On Rural Mission & Church Planting
05/12/22 • 54 min
In this episode we discuss...
- missions and church planting in rural places
- Today we interview Will Basham, church planter and lead pastor of New Heights Church in West Virginia.
- Will answers questions like:
- What is a holler?
- Evangelism in rural places often looks like “tent revivals” and “altar calls.” What is your perspective on this practice? You mention in your book a more biblical altar call. What is that? Where do you wish altar calls were happening?
- “I truly believe that in order to reach a generation of disenchanted people, our discipleship will have to be deployed.” What does deployed discipleship look like?
- “When we create discipleship strategies that are designed for higher educated areas, we leave so many people out. And they’re not just dumb hillbillies.” Tell us about your model of Meet-Read-Pray!

Our Quote of the Day:
- The education of children for God is the most important business done on earth. It is the one business for which the earth exists. To it all politics, all war, all literature, all money making ought to be subordinated; and every parent especially ought to feel, every hour of the day, that next to making his own calling and election sure, this is the end for which he is kept alive by God- this is his task on earth. - Robert Lewis Dabney
