Leader: Creating Commissioned Communities

Most Bible study groups become inwardly focused over time, so they must be intentional about focusing outward. In 48 information-packed pages, David Francis, Allan Taylor, and Ken Braddy discuss outreach and evangelismwhat may be the most neglected aspects of the role of a group leader. The authors look at practices, principles, and perspectives that are foundational for a group to establish, reestablish, or maintain a focus on outreach and evangelism. What would God have us do to become a commissioned community? Everyone in your Bible study group needs to be talking about this important question. The purpose of this book is to provide a framework for conversations about outreach and evangelism through Sunday School and small groups. You will find ways to talk about how to keep your group outwardly focused, what principles reinforce what your group does, and why you need to be worried about it in the first place. Written for everyone involved in a Bible study group, Leader is the third of four books in the 3 Roles series. These books encourage groups and group leaders to create conversational communities (Teacher), create caring communities (Shepherd), and create commissioned communities (Leader).
