Скачать или смотреть Stop the Bleeding: Greg Ogden MicroGroup Multiplying Moment

Greg Ogden cites statistics of the decline of people leaving churches in staggering numbers over the past years. I want to stop the bleeding! The Church is bleeding people. In the book The Great Dechurching, the authors tell us that 40 million people have left the Church of Jesus Christ over the last 25 years. Since 2007 16% of the population declare themselves to be “nones” meaning they have no religious affiliation. That percentage now has risen to 30% of the US population.

How do we stop the bleeding? We have to ask the question,

"Why are people leaving the church? Why are people bleeding away from the church?"

This I know: If these same people had been introduced to the real Jesus and were involved with Him in community with others who share the heart of Jesus, they would be in the church today because Jesus is it!

He is the One! He is the One who has revealed God to us, and He was at the center of all of life. There is no more enthralling figure in all of history than the Person of Jesus Christ.

And if these same people had been in a small group community—we call those MicroGroups—three or four people walking together, learning to have Jesus be the center of their life, sharing the ups and downs of their life together, being in community with each other, they would be in the church today.

We live in a day where the real pandemic is one of loneliness, the need for deep community.

And what we offer at Global Discipleship Initiative is a MicroGroup experience where people are getting Jesus deep into their souls and in a community with each other.
