Fathering Leaders Motivating Mission by David Devenish Pdf
Who cares pastorally for the pastor? This unique book addresses the mentoring needs of today's pastors by exploring the New Testament office of 'apostle'. The result is a biblical blueprint for giving church leaders the support they need to develop their gifts and practical ministry skills.
By providing case studies of Christian organizations and networks which have recently undergone succession, and drawing upon perspectives from leadership theory, psychology, organizational development, and theology, this work shows multiple overlapping aspects of succession. These facets include plans, processes, gender implications, theologies of leadership, successor origins, relationship between outgoing and incoming leaders, selection methods, and organizational beliefs manifested in succession ceremonies. An analysis of the various successions studied reveals the need for the organization or network to reflect on its own understandings and theologies of leadership; without so doing, organizational succession could be impaired. While exploring the complexities of leadership succession, particularly founder succession, this book provides clear lessons and guidance for those navigating such transitions in leadership.
The first comprehensive textbook on effective church planting from a veteran church planter. The Apostle Paul was a veteran church planter who "laid a foundation like a wise and master builder" and there is much we can learn from his example. Paul indicated that there were basic skills and experiences required to successfully plant a church. Church Plantology examines the wide variety of church planting methods and ideologies in contemporary pastoral practice and outlines a biblical model based on the New Testament. During his time in prison, Paul spent much of his time writing to Titus, Timothy, and others who'd served alongside him in the trenches to complete their training as church plantings. We can continue to apply these time-tested, proven methods, following the pioneering example of the early church. Today, the casualty rate in is high. What if we could reduce the odds of failing? Church Plantology by Peyton Jones is a robust guide to planting that will help planters to provide the foundation necessary to survive beyond the initial first years so that they don't end up a walking statistic.

Demonstrating how training for the next generation of church planting leaders might be informed by the historic master-apprentice model, guild learning communities, creativity and an artisan approach to ministry, this book is a vital resource to inform the methods of training for the next generation of church planters.
Power and the Powers by Andrew R. Hardy,Richard Whitehouse,Dan Yarnell Pdf
Missio Dei by its very nature requires the church to come to terms with the exercise of power, both internally and externally, as it confronts the world. Tune in to any newscast or glance at the daily newspaper and it immediately becomes clear that the use and abuse of power is a live issue. The more we focus on the twists and turns of current events, the more it appears that uncorrupted exercise of power eludes the human race. All too often we become uneasily aware that there are powers lying behind the power that any of us wields, whether it is in the family, the classroom, on the shop floor, in the boardroom, or in churches. Effective missional leadership involves creative engagement with the powers at work in the world without being debased by them. This book sets out to address the issue of the use and misuse of power from biblical, theological, and practical perspectives. The authors bring their theological, pastoral, missionary, and personal experience to their task in order to inform, challenge, and invite readers into a responsible use of the powers that God has put into the hands of each one of us to achieve his purposes in the world.

Fathering: Transforming Individuals and Nations by Don Lynch Pdf
When God sends increase, He provides fathers to prepare inheritors for the increase. God has nations in mind with everything He does, and fathering is His leadership strategy to align leaders. Properly aligned and functioning, spiritual fathering makes an international-level spiritual power and authority available at the individual and local level. God has a strategy for fathering: the spirit and power of Elijah; hell has a strategy to steal the inheritance: the spirit of Jezebel. These spiritual conditions continue to work for and against God's kingdom agenda. Jezebel isn't so much after leaders as she is working to steal the inheritance by offering substitute inheritors. The spirit and power of Elijah joins hearts - not minds - fathers with children, and children with fathers to release blessing instead of curse from one spiritual generation to the next. God's strategy for increase is inheritors so the increase can have an international impact through fathering leadership. Dr Don will challenge your present thinking about kingdom leadership and your measuring tools for ministry success. This book will do more to prepare you to align your life with what God is doing in this revival generation than any ten books on personal potential because it will unmask the work of the enemy to distract you from spiritual fathering and distress you in following any leadership at all. Dr Don is a recognized international leader speaker, author, and father in demand on several continents who is living out what this book describes.
Through the history of God's people, the constant element has been the manifest presence of the Almighty. Baptism in the Holy Spirit galvanized the young church, equipping and empowering the believers for action, particularly for proclamation. This transformative experience boosted courage, fostered fluency, and granted insights to ordinary men and women--and still does today. The Spirit gives particular gifts. Terry clarifies the distinction between pastors, apostles, and prophets. Every fellowship needs a pastor, someone who can keep the flock close to the Shepherd Himself. Beyond that there is the role of the apostle, whose calling is to act as the master builder. But we are all called to be a prophetic people, able to speak God's word into the current situation, bringing direction, comfort, solutions, and action. This warm and loving description of the work of the Spirit is a delightful articulation of the passion that has driven Terry's life and ministry.
