Welcome to another episode of the Cultivate Church Planting Podcast. Today I’m joined by my good friends and ministry partners Jessie and Shannon Quintana. Jessie and Shannon made a one-year commitment to move out to Florida and help us with our church plant. It was incredibly helpful. Shannon was our worship leader, and Jessie helped set up our media systems. It was great having that help during such a pivotal time in the church plant. In this episode you will hear their story and find out how valuable temporary seasonal help can be when planting a church. Who knows, maybe God wants you to go and help for a season?
