About this ebook
There was more to the day of Pentecost than the giving of spiritual gifts. The real gift was that a group of people were changed from being separate to being one... they received community. Such a corporate experience can happen today, to you and your church."A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
How do you take a group of Christians for whom the gospel and Christian life seems relatively powerless, and infuse into them power to change them and their church?
You need genuine apostolic (think early church) community.
Not the type of community that you find in a monastary, or among the amish, but something that happens in the hearts of people.

This book describes such a thing, and talks from both experience and scripture.

Many people joined churches as a result.In addition, David has built a number of ministry websites has written a number of articles and short books promoting evangelism and mission.
