From a recovering "leadershipaholic" our best model is the first one.
With all our sleek ministry models, it's a wonder our churches are declining--until we read Acts 6:4, "But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and the ministry of the word."
After a long, sometimes trying ministry journey, Daniel Henderson was relieved to discover what the apostles knew from the start: The main thing must stay the main thing. It worked in their pagan times, and it will in ours.
Old Paths, New Power: Reviving Our Churches through Prayer and the Ministry of the Word calls us back to the tried-and-true: pray and proclaim the word.
Henderson, who leads a growing church revival ministry, guides you through the essentials of sparking a spiritual renaissance:
- Be a leader who walks with the Lord
- Develop a strong prayer culture in your life and ministry
- Preach with unction, dependence, and integrity
- Equip every saint for the work of the ministry
- Embrace the sufficiency of the gospel
Our churches don't need fresh models and fancy things; they need the Holy Spirit, and He rains down when we pray and proclaim the word. Read Old Paths, New Power and follow God's master plan.
