Does the cell church strategy work in North America? We hear about exciting cell churches in Colombia and Korea, but where are the dynamic North American cell churches? This book not only declares that the cell church concept does work in North America but dedicates an entire chapter to examining North American churches that are successfully using the cell strategy to grow in quality and quantity. This book provides the latest statistical research about the North American church and explains why the cell church approach restores health and growth to the church today. More than anything else, this book will provide practical solutions for pastors and lay leaders to use in implementing cell-based ministry.

We've entitled this book "You Can Coach" because we believe that coaching is more about passing on what you've lived and holding others accountable in the process. Coaching doesn't require a higher degree, special talent, unique personality, or a particular spiritual gift. We believe, in fact, that God wants coaching to become a movement. We long to see the day in which every pastor has a coach and in turn is coaching someone else. In this book, you'll hear three coaches who have successfully coached pastors for many years. They will share their history, dreams, principles, and what God is doing through coaching. Our hope is that you'll be both inspired and resourced to continue your own coaching ministry in the years to come.

La reproducci n es muy importante para plantar nuevas iglesia. A la vez, el modelo debe ser tan sencillo que otros pueden reproducir el proceso. La primera secci n habla de la base b blica para plantar nuevas iglesias. Habla tambi n de lo que est pasando hoy en d a. Comiskey escribe sobre los requisitos de un plantador de iglesias para tener xito. En la segunda secci n, Comiskey habla de c mo plantar iglesias celulares y redes de iglesias en casa. Esto libro no s lo ofrece informaci n, pero el proceso preciso para hacerlo. Esto libro es esencial para establecer iglesias que van a honrar y glorificar Cristo. Comiskey's thesis is that reproduction or church multiplication is critical to all effective church planting. Thus, church planting must be simple enough to keep the process going. The first section lays out the Biblical basis for church planting. The book moves from the Biblical basis to the contemporary scene, showing why church planting is absolutely essential to keep up with the population growth. Comiskey also highlights the characteristics which make a modern day church planter successful. Comiskey draws from practical experiences to help those who are in the battle or are considering church planting. The second section goes into detail about church planting strategies, namely the cell church strategy and house church planting. The reader is not just given information about different church planting approaches but is also shown how to use them. Comiskey's book is a must-read book for those interested in establishing Christ-honoring, multiplying churches.

Plantando Iglesias Que Se Reproducen (Spanish Edition)

La misión Elim en San Salvador ha crecido a aproximadamente 11,000 grupos celulares y 110,000 personas asistiendo a esas células. Adicionalmente, han plantado 125 iglesias celulares alrededor del mundo. ¿Cuál es el secreto de su éxito? ¿Por qué Dios ha bendecido y usado a esta iglesia? Elim ha aprendido que el modelo celular no es una estrategia de grupos pequeños; es una estrategia de liderazgo. El énfasis no es solamente comenzar grupos en casas sino equipar líderes para alcanzar su ciudad para Jesús. Ellos han desarrollado un plan concreto de entrenamiento para convertir a los miembros de la iglesia en cosechadores que lideran grupos celulares. Elim tiene éxito en esto y su iglesia ha florecido. El manual de entrenamiento que ahora tiene en sus manos es el mismo manual que ha entrenado miles de líderes celulares en San Salvador para recoger la cosecha. Este manual de entrenamiento, creado por Mario Vega, el Pastor General de Elim, es a la vez sencillo y claro. Este manual es hecho de 26 lecciones concisas y esbozadas que un maestro puede usar para entrenar creyentes a través de un proceso de crecimiento espiritual. Después de completar este entrenamiento, un líder potencial está equipado para comenzar su grupo celular. El Pastor Mario Vega explica cómo Elim usa este manual en la introducción.

La Ruta del Líder (Spanish Edition)

Mario Vega

La mayor parte del movimiento de la iglesia celular de hoy en día es dinámico, positivo y aplicable. Como ocurre con la mayoría de los esfuerzos, los errores y las falsas suposiciones también surgen para destruir un movimiento que es en realidad sano.Algunas veces estos falsos conceptos han hecho que la iglesia se extravíe por completo. En otras ocasiones condujeron al pastor y a la iglesia por un callejón sin salida y hacia un ministerio infructuoso. Sin tener en cuenta cómo se generaron los mitos, estos tuvieron un efecto escalofriante en el ministerio de la iglesia.En este libro, Joel Comiskey aborda estos errores y suposiciones falsas, ayudando a pastores y líderes a desenredar las madejas del legalismo que se han escabullido dentro del movimiento de la iglesia celular. Joel luego dirige a los lectores a aplicar principios bíblicos probados a través del tiempo, los cuales los conducirán hacia un ministerio celular fructífero.

Mitos y Verdades de la Iglesia Celular: Principios Claves que Construyen o Destruyen un Ministerio Celular (Spanish Edition)

What is the main objective of cell ministry? We know that the goal of the Christian life is to glorify God and to enjoy him forever. But does God have a particular purpose for the cell-based church? I've come to the conclusion that the primary goal of cell ministry is to make disciples who make disciples. Christ commanded his disciples to reproduce themselves (Matthew 28:18-20). But how were they supposed to do that? This book answers that question. Most discipleship books assume that discipleship is an individualistic endeavor. And yes, there are important individual spiritual disciplines (e.g., personal devotions, etc.). Yet in Matthew 28, Jesus was talking to a group of disciples. He wanted them to follow his example by making disciples in a group. The early church continued Christ's pattern by making disciples through the house churches that celebrated together in public worship. In this book, I explain how the cell church makes disciples. In the cell, a potential disciple is transformed through community, priesthood of all believers, group evangelism, and team multiplication. The cell system ensures each leader has a coach and that training happens. Then the cells gather together to worship and grow through the teaching of God's Word. The goal of the two-wing church is to make disciples who make disciples. This book will help you understand why and how to become a cell-based church. Whether you’re planting a cell church or transitioning from a traditional church, this book will help you get there.

Making Disciples in the Twenty-First Century Church: How the Cell-Based Church Shapes Followers of Jesus

Comiskey, Dr. Joel

Jesus said, “Follow me.” So where did everyone go? The call to follow is clear. The path, however, particularly in the Western world, is not often travelled. While the call to discipleship is far from easy, it’s not complex. Despite its clarity, both survey results and observation show that we are simply not becoming more like Jesus. What’s your plan to follow Jesus? Programmed approaches to discipleship of various kinds tend to fall short. A certain program might work well for some, but that same program seems to be nearly impossible for others. In Follow Me, Brian Kannel challenges you to move beyond the programs. Rather than detailing a specific structure, he outlines seven broad values, and those values form a constantly moving process of growth in faith. Follow Me tells the story of one local church seeking to get serious about discipleship, and calls each of us to do the same thing. Will you follow Him? Brian Kannel is the Lead Pastor of York Alliance Church, a growing cell church in south central Pennsylvania. He is also the author of numerous study guides, including Discipleship According to Jesus and Up in Smoke: A Study of Ecclesiastes. Brian and his wife Amanda live in York, PA with their four children.
