How a simple question led to some exciting discoveries
Amy Jackson
Im so thankful for the well-known leaders who share their hard-won wisdom for
leading small-group ministry. But I especialy love hearing from the small-group
pastors and directors in the trenchesthe people leading change quietly yet
effectively. People who may never have a book deal, but serve God faithfully
day in and day out as they find creative ways to connect people in life-changing
community. People like you.
A few months ago, I was talking about this with Todd Watermann, the Marketing
Manager for SmallGroups.com, and he asked, Are there small groups in other
countries? Of course! I quickly answered.
When I tried to find stories of group ministries outside North America, however, I
came up short. Besides the stories of house churches in China, I had a hard
time finding much information about small-group ministry outside our American
context.
Ill warn you: you probably havent heard of any of these pastors. But thats the
beauty of this, isnt it? Im proud to publish the stories of these hard-working
ministries from around the world. Together, we can celebrate all God is doing
through groups of people coming together to experience life change.
