Congregational Revival for America's Heartland

This manual provides lenses-geography, religion, politics, culture, economics, history, ethnicity-to better understand the complexity and depth of congregations as social institutions and as the body of Christ within a multi-layered context of life. In all the intermediate and final decisions leading to a vision for mission leaders and congregations discover, if they seek it earnestly, the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit, who desires that all congregations grow-in spiritual maturity, increasing in numbers, seeking converts and developing spirit-filled disciples. Three questions unique to the church's purpose as the body of Christ have proven helpful by those who aspire to visionary leadership: -What is God doing here or where are we at (Realities) -What does God's mission ask of us (Foundations) -How do we achieve this vision (Visions)?
