Heartbeat!
How to Turn Passion into Ministry in your church
Churches typically face two “growth-restricting obstacles.”
One is effective outreach. The other is lay ministry.
The facts…
Outreach-94% of Christians have never brought another person to
faith in Christ.
Ministry-13% of the people conduct 90% of their church’s ministry.
The results…
Outreach-Over half of the churches in America did not add one
new member through “conversion growth” last year.
Ministry-“Low member involvement” is the #1 reported frustration
of pastors today.
Heartbeat! How to Turn Passion into Ministry Provides a creative, proven,
missional way to see more people reached for Christ…and more believers
involved in the process!
Based on years of study on how people come to Christ and the church,
noted authority Charles Arn shows how your church can help members
turn their individual passion into a Heartbeat Ministry. The result is
relationships with unchurched people that become “bridges of God”
between your church and your community.
“This practical guide will help any church to be more Christ-like in their
Community. Finally-wheels for the missional wagon!” - Nelson Searcy
