Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Statistics on church growth reveal some startling facts: Overall church attendance in America is declining. The number of those who claim they are done with churches is growing. Those who list "none" as religious affiliation are increasing. After COVID-19, some are reluctant to return to church services in buildings. What if you had a way to make disciples for Jesus in your neighborhood? Is there a way to reach those who have left the churches or who will not go back to a church building? Yes. Making Disciples Through Home Assemblies can show you how. The book is based on the biblical patterns of the first-century disciples who were highly effective in disciple-making in obedience to Jesus' command to make disciples and be His witnesses (Matthew 28:18-20 and Acts 1:8). Studying Acts and other New Testament verses, the authors show that those disciples believed that making disciples and growing the Kingdom of God was the number one priority. The authors also show that individuals met in homes in the absence of church buildings and that any believer can become a disciple-maker for Jesus. Making Disciples Through Home Assemblies contains biblical rationale for home assemblies, material that can be used for training yourself and others to lead a home assembly, and the biblically based study guide for your home assembly meetings is included. The material in this book has been extensively tested for over two years with audiences of diverse ages, and many individuals have been successful in creating their own home assemblies and making disciples for Jesus across the United States. Now you too can start a home assembly and teach others how to become disciples for Jesus.
