About
Christian denominations generally have low growth rates and stagnant evangelistic programs. While churches struggle to evangelize new believers, evangelistic models that utilize small group methodology have shown various degrees of success. However, regardless of the methodology, utilizing small groups generally almost always leads to success. The Small Book on Small Group Evangelism seeks to define biblical principles of small groups that can help the reader introduce concepts that will help people grow their ministry numerically and/or personally in terms of their spiritual growth.
John Sconiers provides a clear vision of utilizing evangelistic small groups as a tool to make an impact not only on believers but on non-believers and their communities. This work, The Small Book on Small Group Evangelism, started off with humble and simple beginnings. The original intent was to fulfill a small seminary project based on community evangelism and church growth. However, after performing minor research about small groups, there were several ideas and notions that intrigued John. Beginning with describing evangelism and the problems many churches are faced with, John then provides principles and strategies for successful small groups. The final section of the book offers an example framework that can be utilized in an evangelistic small group. Hopefully, the insights provided herein can assist you in developing strategic evangelistic programs based on the small groups evangelistic model presented. The Author's prayer is that not only will you apply this information to your ministry settings, but also it will allow you to improve growth rates and member participation.
