THE CALL Book Three - Fruitful: Transforming Your Community

THE CALL series helps disciples of Jesus discern, identify and fulfill the call of God in their lives. THE CALL Book Three - Fruitful describes call in a corporate context - the call of the Lord to a group of people such as a ministry or a church. Using the book of Nehemiah as a source, this book explains how to work collaboratively to engage and transform the community to which you are called. THE CALL series was written and used to train outreach ministers working with refugee groups and impoverished communities in urban areas, but the principles and progressions contained in it apply to churches, missions and parachurch ministries.
