C. Peter Wagner and Joseph Thompson: Out of Africa
Thompson continues to critique the movement and what he sees as necessary to sustain it for the generations to come. Training leaders who will come after us is the key. The book continues for ten more chapters each written by someone with a strange sounding name—at least to my ears. One of these authors pastors the largest Christian Church in Europe, with 20,000 who assemble weekly in the name of the One to Whom we owe all. Think of that, a Nigerian leading the largest church in Europe!
You will read of churches and audiences that number far beyond anything most of us have seen or will ever see. You will learn what brilliant Nigerian professionals, who have left “successful” careers to labor for that which is eternal, see as strengths and weaknesses in their own lives.
This is must reading. Get a copy of this book and find a quiet place where you can read without interruption. You will gain a fresh sense that God is moving throughout the earth—reconciling a peculiar people, lost people, in greater numbers than ever before. Great things are going on every day as God showers His favor on so many including you and me.
