Product Description
Product Description
Breakout is the story of one church?'s discovery of a Spirit empowered, New Testament model of church. It is an honest, inspiring testimony to the truth that the Gospel of Jesus still maintains its life-changing power and God?'s people still have it in them to change the world.St Andrew?'s Chorleywood has been at the forefront of church renewal for over three decades. In the last five years, it has seen substantial growth as the congregation has moved from drawing people to one place, to a model in which well over a thousand believers have been sent out in mission-shaped communities of up to 50 members, meeting in school halls, community centres, coffee shops and other contexts. This daring move has resulted in the raising up of over a hundred new leaders, a massive release of spiritual gifts, great vision and creativity in outreach, and major growth through evangelism.

Format:Paperback
The story of the development of 'MSC's (Medium Sized Communities/Mission Shaped Communities/...) at St. Andrew's Chorleywood is inspiring. It's not a blueprint for anywhere else. It's a pattern of how one particular church sought the way forward with God's guidance. It gives ideas of what is possible, and by doing that encourages the reader to pray for their own situation and to pray that they would have their eyes opened to what is possible in it.

Mark Stibbe has detailed the journey of how his church changed the way they related to thier local community. They developed a 'go to them' attitude rather than a 'come to us' attitude, by creating medium sized communities that met in various places. It is an interesting journey that instructs anyone who is interested in trying something new, thinking outside the box and breaking out of the church's traditional format to create a living vibrant missional church. This book is challenging and a good read.

This is a great read about what God is doing whatever your situation but is a very helpful and inspiring book for anyone thinking about missional communities. It outlines what happened in Mark's church and is honest about difficulties, mistakes and successes. It is well written and at times made me laugh and at others gasp. An inspiring read what ever your situation and who knows God may use it to inspire you to start missional communities.
