Church Planting for a Greater Harvest

For the past four decades this highly effective method of evangelism has been vastly overlooked. As a result, large segments of the population have remained unreached. No single church can meet every person's needs; that's why planting new churches--ones that will meet the needs of specific groups--is so necessary. Now, after ten years of research and teaching on the subject, C. Peter Wagner shares his knowledge and insight in this comprehensive guide on how to plant a church. It's an up-to-date textbook on church planting and a helpful summary of church growth principles in general. Church Planting for a Greater Harvest contains everything Wagner taught in his highly successful ""How to Plant a Church"" seminar--a presentation that was offered sixteen times and drew 5,000 participants! Today, as we see a renewed interest in church planting, the Lord is blessing the efforts of church planters everywhere. The future can be an exciting time of growth for churches. Get ready to be carried into what could be the greatest era of harvest the world has ever seen! ""Church Planting for a Greater Harvest is a timely, much-needed book, offering useful insights into the process of church planting. Wagner provides a broad overview of how we can penetrate a resistant culture with the gospel."" George Barna, President, Brana Research Group C. Peter Wagner, PhD, is the Donald A.
