What happens when disciple-making movements begin to grow? How do you multiply healthy churches as well as multiply disciples?
In The Forgotten Gathering of Jesus, the follow-up to The Forgotten Manifesto of Jesus, Phil Moore returns to Jesus' often-overlooked teaching to explore how disciples are gathered into thriving, sustainable communities of faith. Drawing together the insights of Matthew 10 and Luke 10 with Jesus' teaching in Matthew 16:13-20 and 18:15-20, he reveals a biblical vision for church multiplication that depends on Christ, not human effort.
Filled with inspiring stories of what God is doing around the world and practical wisdom for today's church, this book equips readers to cultivate communities that are healthy, reproducible and centred on Jesus. More than a strategy for church growth, it is an invitation to trust the One who promised, "I will build my church."
