Other Available Resources On T his Rock: A Church Planting Sampler

This sampler represents the training materials of World Impact, a Christian missions organization which has ministered in the inner cities of America for more than forty years (www.worldimpact.org). We are deeply committed to facilitating church-planting movements by evangelizing, equipping, and empowering the unchurched urban poor. World Impact’s purpose is to honor and glorify God and to delight in him among the unchurched urban poor by knowing God and making him known. For us, the fastest, most efficient, and most powerful method to impact and transform urban poor communities is to plant healthy Christ-centered churches where the light and life of Jesus Christ is proclaimed and demonstrated for all to see. Our belief is that through the planting of healthy churches among the poor, the Holy Spirit will show his transformative power within and through the members of these neighborhoods. Our hope is that this sampler will trigger a desire for you to move from a mere taste of materials to the actual full texts which are available to you at our online store (www.tumientree.com). Hopefully, a perusal of these diverse materials will provide you with a sense of our commitment to seeing the Great Commission fulfilled among the world’s urban poor, and what we believe we will need to accomplish this.
