A recent survey of churches has shown that many church leaders have introduced campaigns as a ‘fill-in’ rather than consider the long-term effects. Where churches have applied the principles and practices of Purpose Driven a balanced and healthy congregational growth has usually been the natural result. Unfortunately one of the side effects of poor planning can be a sense of discontentment once the campaign is completed and a suitable programme is not set in place to lead the church forward. Purpose Driven are aiming to counter this with the release in autumn of a leaders manual, which will take the leader through the various stages of the purpose driven journey. ................................................................................................................................................................
Building Relationships Campaign A very positive 'yes' has come back from the 46 churches who have completed the first English Purpose Driven campaign The ‘ 40 Days of Building Relationships with God’s Love ‘ campaign was originally presented by Rick Warren at Saddleback Church California and then rewritten and presented in Germany . David Beer and Peter Simpson of Purpose Driven UK then rewrote the campaign with UK culture in mind. David Beer also rewrote and presented the talks for the small group DVD. The campaign covers 40 Days and is suitable for all age groups. A small group and daily reading book links into a preaching series and small group discussion materials. The main theme of the campaign is 'God’s Love’ and applies the biblical teaching of love into our church and community life and daily relationships. A powerful study and application which will help all Christians in their walk of discipleship and ministry. .......................................................................................................................................................................................................
