A Vision of the Possible
Author: Daniel Sinclair
Publisher: Biblica
ISBN: 1932805567
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
We have long been aware of the challenge of reaching the unreached peoples of the world. For many this seemed a daunting and almost impossible task. However, with a clear biblical model of church planting, which works in divergent cultural settings, it seems that this may in fact be possible. In A Vision of the Possible, Daniel Sinclair thoroughly covers practical whys and how-to's concerning pioneer church planting among unreached people groups, with applicable discussions from Scripture along the way. Its emphases include resistant environments and church planting in teams. It also includes the newly revised seven Pioneer Church Planting Phases which is widely used by mission agencies working among unreached peoples. Those on the field, and those in preparation, including those in Bible schools and seminaries, will find this book immensely practical. Senders on the homefront will also find it invaluable, as they seek to understand the biblical and concrete issues the friends they support grapple with on a daily basis.

A Better Way to Pray
Author: Andrew Wommack
Publisher: Harrison House Publishers
ISBN: 1577948343
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
After nearly four decades of ministry, Andrew Wommack has discovered some important truths about prayer. His prayer life is much different than it was thirty years ago and the results have dramatically improved! You may be asking many of the same questions Andrew once did. Is prayer my Christian duty? Is prayer primarily about asking God to meet my needs and the needs of others? Is God's answer to my prayer based on the degree of my humility and sincerity? Is answered prayer a sovereign decision of God or do I have the ability to influence Him? Clear, scriptural answers to these questions and more could significantly change the way you pray. These principles may not be the only way to pray, but if you're not getting the results you desire, consider changing directions; maybe there is A Better Way to Pray.

Where There Is Now a Church (2nd Edition):
Author: James Nelson
Publisher: William Carey Publishing
ISBN: 1645083322
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Christians serving in Muslim lands told their stories of challenge and change in the acclaimed Where There Was No Church. In this sequel, devoted workers provide detailed stories of praise and imprisonment and inspiring portraits of the spread of the Christian movement—including a growing church in the shadow of a mosque. Fruitful Practice researchers visited and interviewed about thirty church-planting teams on-site across six regions, translating and transcribing full tales of their cross-cultural gospel work. Where There Is Now a Church provides seven case studies showing how God has established churches and church-planting movements among Muslim peoples. Each case study is accompanied by thoughtful discussion questions and a list of the church-planting practices it illustrates. The expansive appendix explains, categorizes, and describes a more complete list of sixty-eight fruitful practices for evangelism and church planting in Muslim settings. This readable and encouraging book describes many practices that can also be applied in non-Muslim contexts. This book will encourage veteran workers and inspire new servants to reach God’s children throughout the Muslim world. The bottom line is that the message of hope in the Bible can overcome anything.
