After more than a year of adjusting to being the church during a pandemic, churches are considering ways to take advantage of the post-pandemic period as a time to reach out to their communities and create new methods of evangelism.
In Expanding the Expedition Through Church Partnerships, author Christian Coon leads readers to consider the possibilities of a church partnership. Coon suggests ingredients to help readers through the process of making important decisions and/or taking steps forward. These include Engaging in intentional prayer, listening to many different voices, reflecting on the Scriptures, asking the “What if ?” question, anticipating pushback and possibly sabotage.
The author quickly admits that all of these ingredients are not original. They have been handed down through the ages with our ancestors of the faith using them, tweaking them, and adding to them. The reader is invited to find beauty in items that may seem out of date or irrelevant.
