The Proven Plan: Forward by Ken Harrison. Chairman,Promise Keepers

The Proven Plan is like a version of Back to the Future. It takes us back to the original plan Jesus demonstrated to reach the nations and shows us how the Church in America has veered away from the plan. The results have been disastrous. Mega churches abound, but we have less and less impact on our dark culture. We reproduce after our own kind. By failing to follow “the proven plan”, we have produced a Christianity that pales in comparison to the original. The salt has lost its saltiness. But there is HOPE! As we return to the plan demonstrated by Jesus, we will once again advance the Kingdom of God in quality and quantity. We can be the light of the world and the salt of the earth, reaching and preserving the end-time harvest. Ain’t nothin to it but to do it!

"In his newest book, The Proven Plan, Daniel Bernard provides a much-needed and refreshing look at Christian discipleship. Using practical wisdom and actionable insights, he offers a solution to the broken pattern of disciple-making displayed in most houses of worship. Pastors and church leaders, you need this book in your ministry toolkit.”

—Lucas Miles Pastor and Best-Selling Author Woke Jesus: The False Messiah Destroying Christianity

"I think of the Lion of Judah leading us, his ‘Roaring Lambs’ into battle and victory. Sadly, we have seen the Church grow into these magnificent, opulent buildings, but what is the fruit that they are producing? My dear friend, Pastor Daniel Bernard, asks the same question and provides the answers in his book, The Proven Plan. It is time for the Body of Christ to get back to our fundamentals, our mission as articulated in the Great Commission."

—Lieutenant Colonel Allen B. West

"My dear friend, Daniel Bernard, has been a proven disciple-maker both in the USA and abroad. In this important and practical book, he gives us vital principles to apply in the church and marketplace to nurture serious mature Christ followers. Since true, authentic discipleship is a rarity in the contemporary church, I cannot overstate how important this book is! I highly endorse it!"

—Dr. Joseph Mattera, Church Planter & Author

"Daniel Bernard has once again pulled on the heartstrings of God. Jesus commissioned his disciples to make disciples. At our local church, Potter’s House, we have discipled thousands over the years. If you read this book, The Proven Plan, you will be stirred to disciple as many people as you can before the Lord’s return. If you give it a read, you’ll get to work."

—Bishop Vaughn McLaughlin Senior Pastor, The Potter’s House Intl Ministries Jacksonville, Florida

"As typical of one of Daniel’s books, it has a prophetic edge. He pulls no punches and tells it like it is. Truth does not just paint over flaws; it penetrates them to bring repentance and healing. He points to a better path to follow. Daniel has done his homework, and the book is well-quoted throughout. It is a stash of fresh ideas and spotlights for men and women who are making a difference in the world. This book is full of inspiration and practical ideas to fan the flame of winning the world for Jesus Christ. As the reader, you will be very rewarded."

—Dr. Terry Teykl, President Pray for Renewal Ministries

"Daniel is correct when he shares how we need to be F.A.A.T...Faithful, Available, Accountable, and Teachable. I’ve learned that true authority and influence come with the need for greater accountability. Our talents and gifting can only take us so far. It takes godly character and accountability to bring lasting change and influence. The Proven Plan is a life message born out of personal life experiences and lessons. As you read through this book, I trust you too will be deeply moved, as well as be provoked and challenged in your own walk and journey."
