The Gift Of Evangelism And Its Relationship To Evangelism, Larry Gilbert
The Gift Of Evangelism And Its Relationship To Evangelism, Larry Gilbert
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth

Reaching The Buster Generation, Elmer L. Towns
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth
The first Baby Buster turned 25 years of age in 1991, but Busters do not march to the same drum beat as their Boomer parents. Their Boomer parents were fighters and winners, fighting for women’s rights, nuclear freeze, and the peace movement. They hated Vietnam and the Cold War and they loved the "Camelot" Kennedy Years in the White House. But their Baby Busters are different. They have no great dreams, no battles to win, no mountains to climb. They are a generation with busted dreams, busted ambitions, and busted trust.
Staffing A Church For Growth: A Church Planting Model, Gary L. Mcintosh
Staffing A Church For Growth: A Church Planting Model, Gary L. Mcintosh
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth
What is the best way to staff a church so that it grows? Historically this has not been an urgent question for church leaders. Throughout most of church history few churches were large enough to have multiple church staff members. It has only been since the Industrial Age of the mid 1800s that enough people were clustered in cities to produce churches large enough to need multiple staff members.

The Framework For A National Strategy In Church Planting, Charles Chaney
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth
A revolution has occurred in the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) in the past half century. The geographical boundaries of the South no longer contain us. Cultural and racial sameness, which once marked the convention, while still pervasive in some areas of our greatest strength, is no longer true nationally. Southern Baptists are ready now to think and act from a national perspective. For the first time, a truly national strategy is a possibility.

A Movement Is Born: Church Growth Beginnings In An Old Church In Germany, Hans Martin Wilhelm
A Movement Is Born: Church Growth Beginnings In An Old Church In Germany, Hans Martin Wilhelm
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth
A new approach must be discovered to break old, encrusted traditions which have kept the church in a "Babylonian captivity." Lack of spiritual vitality and creativity have stifled attempts to inject new life into the church. Unfortunately, the influx of missionary personnel into the European scene has not produced the breakthrough it hoped to accomplish. Mission societies have failed to be the change agents they wanted to be. This is principally due to the failure to understand the historical and cultural context, as well as the theological complexities of the German situation.
