Every church and Christian leader active in a local church in the West are aware of one of the most critical problems of the western church in the 21st century. What is it? It’s the dropout believer – the disconnected Christian who no longer is a part of the local church. Just about everyone knows some...
In our affluent western culture a large percentage of believers who profess faith in Jesus C
hrist no longer participate in the local church - the body of Christ. The nonprofit Barna group estimates 60% of people under age 30 are dropout believers! And boomers were the first generation to begin this trend! In these “latter days” the “falling away” of many in the church is a disturbing reality, particularly in the West. This is a major problem for every dropout Christian and for the church! The current decline of western civilization is arguably attributable to the decline in the number of Christians who are actively living the gospel. Wherever Christians provide “salt” and “light” in the culture by living their faith, society benefits. Murder, crime, hatred, racism, increased poverty, greed, and a superfluous abundance of laws restricting freedoms in every arena are a direct result of this decay. Now there is a response that Christians and the local church can undertake to counter this trend. Hunters of the Harvest reveals a biblical strategy that is highly effective in restoring dropout believers to the body of Christ –the church. It shows how individual believers and churches can restore and reconnect dropout believers to the local church. The book lays out the strategy of restoring & reconnecting dropout believers to the local church and also includes an 8 week small group study guide to impart the vision, inform, and train the local church and believers to make them effective in this ministry of restoration.
