When Jesus commissioned his followers, he was not just inaugurating the historical church, he was founding a missionary movement.Originally released by Missional Press and now revised and expanded to include a multi-session discussion guide, Steve Addison's Movements That Change the World draws from biblical, historical and contemporary case studies to isolate the essential elements of a dynamic missionary movement. The church fulfills its mission today to the extent that it honors these essential elements, modelled perfectly in Jesus? missionary enterprise: 
<ul>
<li>white-hot faith</li>
<li>commitment to the cause</li>
<li>contagious relationships</li>
<li>rapid mobilization</li>
<li>adaptive methods</li>
</ul> Throughout the ages Jesus' followers have been called to continue his movement in the power of the Holy Spirit. Like many such movements, it changed the world. Unlike most movements, which have their historical moment and then fade away, Christianity is actively, continually changing the world for the better.

<ul><li>2014 Outreach Magazine Resource of the Year (Church Health)</li></ul> Sometimes we get so caught up in the power of Jesus shouting from the cross, "It is finished!" that we forget that Jesus started something. What Jesus started was a movement that began small, with intimate conversations designed to build disciples into apostles who would go out in the world and seed it with God's kingdom vision. That movement grew rapidly and spread wide as people recognized the truth in it and gave their lives to the power of it. That movement is still happening today, and we are called to play our part in it.

What Jesus Started: Joining the Movement, Changing the World

Christian Books & Bibles

God's mission needs movement leaders. Jesus pioneered something completely new in human history―a dynamic missionary movement intent on reaching the world. His mission is as clear and as relevant today as in the days of the early church: to make disciples everywhere, baptizing them and teaching them to obey everything Jesus has commanded. But the potential of the church remains untapped. What does it take to lead movements that successfully carry out this mission? In Pioneering Movements, Steve Addison identifies what it takes to follow Jesus' example. Building on his previous books Movements That Change the World and What Jesus Started, he reveals the apostolic qualities and behaviors of biblical, historical, and contemporary pioneers who can guide church and ministry leaders today. This is a book for those who are called to embrace the mission-driven work that Jesus and his disciples began―making disciples of all nations, in all places.

Pioneering Movements: Leadership That Multiplies Disciples and Churches

Ferguson, Dave

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. Drawing on the life and ministry of Jesus, and with reflections on 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 identify their stage and align themselves with God’s purposes.

Lo que Jesús Comenzó: Uniéndose al Movimiento Cambiando al Mundo (Spanish Edition)

When Jesus rose from the dead, he found disciples who were defeated and disillusioned. Just like us. But in the forty days between his resurrection and his ascension, Jesus restored and prepared them for their worldwide mission. Spend forty days with Jesus as you explore forty decisive moments from Genesis to Revelation and discover your part in God's story. Invite Jesus to do for you what he did for those early disciples. He met them in their failure. He opened their minds to his Word. He showed them their part in God's story. He promised the power of the Holy Spirit. Then he set them loose on the world.

Your Part in God's Story: 40 Days From Genesis to Revelation

LET GOD DISRUPT YOUR WORLD AND SHOW YOU WHAT HE CAN DO. 
When we open the book of Acts, we’re struck by the gap between our experience and the movement described in its pages. 
The book of Acts calls us back to the beginning—to a movement born in obscurity, captivated by God’s grace, devoted to prayer and the spread of his Word. A movement that was bold in persecution, generous in love, alive with God’s presence, and on the move from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. 
What if Luke isn’t just telling us, “This is how it was,” but he’s also saying, “This is how it can be”? 
This book combines insightful commentary with stories and lessons from across the globe, inspiring readers to join the movement of God, as it stretches from where they are to every place and every people.
