Marks of a Movement

Church Leadership & Ministry

“A brand plucked from the burning”—my countryman John Wesley started a fiery movement of reproducing disciples, leaders, and churches that reflected the purity, simplicity, and communal power of the early church. His followers took the apostolic church of Acts as their model and set their world on fire with passion. It’s vital to learn again from the man and his ministry, but most of all from his methods. I am thrilled that Dr. Bevins helps us do so here, and in such a readable manner. Winfield Bevins reminds us of John Wesley’s disciple-making wisdom, which gave birth to a movement of mission and church planting. The movement he started spread around the world and ultimately transformed the religious landscape of the West. With his love for the history of the church and his personal experience of church planting, Bevins helps us understand powerful lessons from John Wesley that can inspire hero makers today.”
