Description

Tired? Frustrated? Confused? 

Almost a third of new churches don’t survive 4 years: What’s the problem? What’s gone wrong?

External opposition, character qualms, practical barriers, disunity dilemmas, lack of support: these are the struggles reported by those on the front lines of church planting ministry.

Stories, scripture, and self–examination shed light on twelve common pitfalls and inspire strategies for planting churches that last. Gathering real experiences and tackling the challenges headfirst, Steel encourages us to step out of the pressured drive for short–term gains and resist the allure of superficial successes. As our gaze shifts from making converts to making disciples, we are equipped and energised to persevere in establishing the roots that will cultivate thriving churches.

In the midst discouragement, there is hope for struggling church plants and struggling planters: God has promised to build his church

Endorsements

I have no doubt that this book will prevent many men from falling into any one of these pitfalls so they might thrive in the trenches of a church planting ministry.

Matthew Spandler–Davison, Ministry Director, Church in Hard Places

… both challenging and hopeful. This book should be required reading for church planters and their teams, but would benefit everyone in church leadership because these dangers are not unique to church planting.

John Stevens, National Director, Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches, Market Harborough, Leicestershire
