When we opened the door to Ebenezers we did it with a multiplication mindset. It was a quantum challenge getting Ebenezers off the ground, but I always hoped it would turn into a chain of coffeehouses. The thing that caught me a little off guard was the volume of interest from churches around the country. I’m guessing we’ve dialogued with a couple hundred churches over the past two years that want to do something similar. And we’ve been asked if we would consider franchising.

Today we head to a franchising seminar to begin exploring possibilities. We have no foregone conclusions, but if we felt like franchising would help us help other churches then we’d go for it. Excited about exploring possibilities.
