Synopsis "We Broke the Church: Re-Discovering the Movement Jesus Envisioned (in English)"
There’s only one thing that makes a church healthy and future-proof, and without it the church is dead already. It trumps buildings and location and staff, and it has nothing to do with how much money is in the bank. It’s the secret sauce of the early church and it’s the key feature of the faith community that Jesus envisioned for every generation. It’s glaringly missing in most American churches today and yet it’s unbelievably easy to fix. The singular purpose of this book is to help you get the vision for this one thing and to empower you to become a part of the solution in your home town, whether you’re a pastor or just an average joe Christian. The one thing every church needs is disciple-makers, and this book will show you how to become one. Bryan Dwyer, founding pastor of Alpine Church (Utah) and creator of pursueGOD.org, shares his story of discovery after building a successful church for over a decade. A trip to the Philippines opened his eyes to how broken his church really was - in spite of its impressive numerical growth. Upon returning from Manila, Bryan's team got to work on the solution, creating a simple method along with tools for equipping regular people to make disciples. Pastor Bryan's insights, along with the free discipleship tools at pursueGOD.org, will inspire and equip your church to fix what's broken and become the church Jesus envisioned all along. --- Read an excerpt from the book: When Google first entered the online playing field in 1996, it was nothing compared to the mega business of Yahoo. Yahoo was the search engine of choice. Do you remember how it worked? It was a destination website. If you wanted to find information on the internet, you would visit Yahoo.com. It was the mega portal, the great keeper of information (and of paid advertisements). And to get our business, it had a massive marketing budget to attract visitors. Remember the commercials? Yahooooo! Google had a different idea. Instead of creating a destination, it created a service. Instead of forcing users to come through its portal site, it distributed itself throughout the web. Its strategy was to freely embed itself everywhere, opening and gifting its code to the world. While Yahoo was forcing the world to come to it, Google was going out, bringing their product into the world. And that strategy paid off in the end. By 2013, Google had literally decimated its competition, with a market capitalization 10 times higher than Yahoo. In that same year, Google reported revenues of 59 billion, compared to just 4.6 billion for Yahoo. While Yahoo was spending millions in marketing and trying to draw customers to its site, Google was quietly and freely embedding itself everywhere on the web. Google exploded with its viral method, and Yahoo tanked with its outdated strategy. Google, not Yahoo, is a model for the church Jesus envisioned.
