Synopsis

This is a book that is not just theory. Its principles have been worked out in the crucible of ministry experience. Assimilation is one of the most problematic areas in church life. Many churches are at a lost on knowing how to assimilate new members, and empower existing members.

This book provides a practical guide. When you read this book you will see what it takes to bring a person from the wider community right through to building them up in the body of Christ and releasing them to build up the kingdom of God. You will also explore the relationship between evangelism, discipleship, vision and assimilation.

This is a book that all pastors should have, boadmembers and even other congregational members who desire to see their church grow.
