Big (Stan-helps) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Statistics tell us that about 2/3 of churches across America are at a plateau or in decline. This book is meant to help STOP that.IT WASN’T SUPPOSED TO BE THIS WAY!JESUS GAVE US A SIMPLE TEMPLATE TO FOLLOW, WHICH WOULD DEFINE A COMPELLING AND ENDURING VISION FOR ANY CHURCH. It is found in Acts 1:8…“…but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the uttermost part of the earth.” (NASB)This book will help any pastor or church leader use Acts 1:8 as a template to define a compelling vision for your church. I first learned this in 2007, after 28 years of ministry, and I feel like I have FINALLY learned how to lead according to vision.Ask anyone from Christian Life Center who has been here that long; they will agree…this template that we call “The God-Sized Vision” has transformed our church. You’ll read about that process. You’ll read about other churches that have followed it and experienced similar incredible fruits…and you can experience the same for your church.I believe Jesus told it to us, because that is what He wanted for us! "BIG" is intended to be a tool for any pastor or church leader who wants to discover a step-by-step guide to clearly identifying and pursuing a Biblically based vision for the congregation they serve.The "God-Sized Vision" is versatile, and will truly fit churches of any size, or background. The book's format makes it an "easy" read, and is meant to be interacted with. Each chapter has questions for consideration, and can be used as a small group discussion guide.
