Endorsement

"In recent years a new surge of interest in church planting has been rising around the Christian world. Many excellent books on the subject have appeared. But Creating Communities of the Kingdom stands head and shoulders above the rest in its depth and integrity. It is a stimulating and inspiring challenge to biblical discipleship." —C. Peter Wagner, Professor, Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, CA

"Some seminal insights are contained in 'Creating Communities,' among them is the fascinating idea that Paul trained young workers in the city of Ephesus to carry on his work."
