“A ministry is what you can do with the help of others. A movement is what God can do when you let go of control and multiply disciples and churches. ”
The Rise and Fall of Movements
Drawing on the life and ministry of Jesus, and with reflections on the patterns of past and present movements, Steve Addison provides a roadmap for leaders who want to multiply disciples and churches to the ends of the earth. Whether pioneering on the edge, riding a wave of expansion, or stuck in suffocating decline, The Rise and Fall of Movements addresses each phase in the movement lifecycle, helping leaders to identify which stage they are at and to align themselves with God’s purposes.
