The past two decades in Christendom have brought forth a proliferation of books about church planting. One denomination (Southern Baptist) has even set a goal to start fifty thousand new churches over the next twenty year period. But what’s missing toward that end is a solid resource that specifically defines how one established church can successfully sponsor or parent a new church into sustainable existence. Spin-Off Churches aims to meet that need with contributions from a team of veteran missional church planters whose access to current church sponsorship data through the North American Mission Board is second to none. Their experience and teaching will guide readers through the church sponsorship process from its biblical basis to the nuts, bolts, and resource basics of implementation and follow through.

Sent Out is a compelling call to Christians to fulfill their God-given mandate to reach out to a lost and dying world with the Gospel. Stressing that the heart of God is "that none should perish" and the will of God is "that all should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9), Don Overstreet takes readers on a journey to discover what it means to be an apostle (or messenger) in today's world; the character and spiritual discipline required for such service; how to prepare for inevitable challenges; and the importance of each Christian's call to share the Gospel with everyone, everywhere, in everyway. Overstreet encourages readers to "become more open to finding out where God is working and run to catch up and join Him in the task." Explaining that the words missionary and apostle in Greek mean the same thing, God-sent, Overstreet says the most important tasks of the apostle are to reach people and start churches. Speaking from the perspective of one who has had a lifetime of ministry, he discusses how to recognize when God gives a definite call to go to a certain unreached people group or geographical area. Citing biblical references, as well as contemporary and historic examples of believers God has called to fulfill specific tasks, Overstreet provides practical help and inspiration for those seeking God's leading in their lives.

TODAY'S CHURCH must get serious about reaching the MEGA CITIES OF OUR WORLD for CHRIST! The majority of the world live in the city. The greatest needs are in the cities because of population growth, crime growth, poverty and broken lives and the fact that SIN dominates our Cities. The city is where JESUS would be thus we must catch up with Him and go to the cities. We must plant our lives and God's Church in the cities in a very strategic and consistant manner.

God's Call to the City

Hammond, Mark

Christians have unprecedented opportunities to make an eternal impact on the world around us. God continues to prepare the "soil" (the hearts of precious souls). We have the privilege of seeing a great harvest of souls, as God prepares to fulfill one of the last prophecies left before He can come again for His church: the gospel being preached to all nations.  Have you been called to be a part of this mission? Do you think that the gift of apostleship ended when the last of those who knew Jesus in the flesh passed away?  For more than 50 years Don Overstreet has followed the call on his life to be an apostle-missionary. He has had the opportunity to reach people and plant more than 500 churches. In his book Sent Out, Don shares the requirements for being called into the world as an apostle-missionary. He challenges each follower of Christ to consider the place he or she has been "sent" to and explains how to make the most of that calling. Through these pages you will not only learn that God's marching orders to us are no different than they were to the early apostles, you will also see what is required of you as you go into your mission field.
