Leader: Creating Commissioned Communities

Most Bible study groups become inwardly focused over time, so they must be intentional about focusing outward. In this third book of the "3 Roles" series, David Francis, Allan Taylor, and Ken Braddy discuss outreach and evangelism-what may be the most neglected aspects of the role of a group leader. In 48 information-packed pages, the authors look at practices, principles, and perspectives that are foundational for a group to establish, reestablish, or maintain a focus on outreach and evangelism.

One Hundred: Charting a Course Past 100 in Sunday School

One Hundred: Charting a Course Past 100 in Sunday School is a 64-page booklet filled with practical ideas for creating, sustaining, and growing Sunday School groups in your church.

Most churches have 99 people or less in Sunday School, and the large majority of these smaller churches do a great job of caring for each individual present. They also know there are others who need to be reached. But the big question is how. David Francis and Michael Kelley offer help for the smaller church.

It begins with the power of one. One growing disciple. One inspiring teacher. One dynamic class. This book offers strategies to leverage these and other strengths for charting a course to reach 100 and beyond.
