Product Description
by Leonard Hjalmarson (Author)
Tools for helping believers transition into missional practices have been absent or rare: until now. The Missional Church Fieldbook is a tool for use in groups to transition from inward to outward focus, and to work together to discover shared disciplines of mission and community. The Missional Church Fieldbook will require that you ... move from the life of a member to a missionary ... begin a journey to an unknown destination ... open your life deeply to at least three other people ... recognize that you are God's possession and inheritance ... reimagine your life within God's big story ... discover a messy spirituality ... get outside your comfort zone.
