We have a great conversation with Peyton Jones around missional engagement, church planting, and the power of focusing on Jesus and the Gospel and letting the rest happen.

He began ministry serving at a megachurch in Huntington Beach, CA before embarking to Wales, UK for 12 years. After serving as the Evangelist at Dr. D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones’s church Sandfields, and as a church planter, and network leader he founded New Breed Church Planting Network which continues to train front-line 1st century style apostolic church planters, and has trained multiple church planters across the globe. In the 25 years that Peyton has been in ministry, he has served in almost every incarnation of church, context (urban, rural, University Town, Industrial) and across multiple denominations.
