Everyday Church Mission by being good neighbours £9.99 Most people in the West have no intention of ever attending church, yet many of our approaches to evangelism still assume a Christian mentality - we expect people to come to us when we put on a good church service. We need to meet the unchurched where they are, in the context of everyday life, shifting the focus from putting on attractive events to creating attractive communities. 'How can Christians infiltrate an increasingly hostile world? The answers in this book may surprise you.' Adrian Warnock |
