Exponential: How You and Your Friends Can Start a Missional Church Movement - Dave Ferguson

The authors explain that the potential to complete the Jesus mission lies within every Christian as they learn to reproduce their faith as individuals and through church growth. n nAuthors Dave and Jon Ferguson communicate a simple strategy that will engage millions of Christ followers and challenge every church leader to become a reproducing follower and leader. Exponential lays out a brief but solid theology for a reproducing strategy, giving practical how-to's for reproducing Christ followers, leaders, artists, groups/teams, venues, sites, churches, and networks of churches. Weaved throughout this book is the amazing story of Community Christian Church, which was started by five friends who used the reproducing strategies found in Exponential to grow one of the most influential churches in the U.S. and develop a network of reproducing churches. Many of today's Christians consider the missional challenge of Jesus--feed the hungry, comfort the lonely, bring people to God's Word--as inspirational but not something that's achievable. Or, they've heard the challenge of Jesus and are frustrated with how little they've done. Jesus gave his followers this mission because he wants them to hear it, be inspired, and then actually do it... Exponential will show them how. Exponential is the anchor book in the Exponential Series.n
