Pastors around the country continue to look for the program, the book, or the sermon series that will turn their plateaued or declining churches around. But what if the answer to revitalizing the church was closer to home? According to trusted church leadership expert Aubrey Malphurs and veteran pastor Gordon E. Penfold, it is. They believe that pastors themselves are the key. In a time when many pastors are jumping from church to church every two or three years as they search for the "right fit" where they can "make a difference," churches are suffering from a lack of sustained leadership from pastors with a viable vision for ministry. In Re:Vision, Malphurs and Penfold take pastors through a process of discovery and self-evaluation designed to help them re-envision their role, create a culture for positive change, and recruit people to come alongside them as helpers and encouragers. Multiple appendices offer self-diagnostic tools and surveys to help pastors assess their strengths and weaknesses for more effective ministry.

John Maxwell makes the statement that everything rises and falls on leadership. If that statement is true, doesn't it make sense to focus our prayers on the critical issue that is the true catalyst for achieving God-purposed goals in our churches across the nation and world? In The Key to Your Church's Vision: The Practical Guide to Praying For Your Pastor, Pastor Cameron King unlocks Psalm 45 as the scriptural prayer guide that will direct every praying parishioner into effective prayers for their shepherd. Every chapter will relate to issues that are close to your pastor's heart. When God answers your prayers for your pastor, God's vision for your congregation will begin to be unlocked as your pastor enters into a season of unprecedented accomplishment. Every chapter is jam-packed with scriptural truth that, if prayed, will preserve your pastor and his family while accelerating the work of God in your congregation. This is a MUST READ FOR PEOPLE WHO DESIRE TO SEE THE WILL OF GOD FULLFILLED IN THEIR CONGREGATION! Pastor John Cameron King graduated from Southeastern University of the Assembly of God in Lakeland, Florida with a B.A. in Church Ministries with a concentration in preaching. He also holds an M.A. in General Theological Studies from Columbia International University. Under Cameron's pastoral leadership, the Lord re-birthed and has transformed First Assembly of God in Cairo, Georgia from a small, dying church of nine people to a healthy, multicultural congregation that loves ministering to the poor, reaching the unchurched, and being in the presence of God. First Assembly is located in a small poverty-stricken rural community in Southwest Georgia. Cameron is the founder ofCairo First Outreach Center, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to address the practical needs of poverty in Cairo and Grady County.

Vision is both real and definable. Strategic vision combines real and definable factors that, when mixed wisely and effectively, propels a church forward! Strategic Vision provides a clear set of directives and expectations with which an entire church strategy can be framed. The first step in forming a strategic vision is for the leader to develop a personal vision. This personal vision grows into an all-encompassing kingdom vision with every other level of vision between. From the foundation of a vision leader, all other elements of vision flow.

Strategies for transforming a toxic church culture Why is it that the best strategic plans and good leadership often are not able to move churches in the desired direction?

This work describes five easily identifiable categories of church culture (inspiring-accepting-stagnant-discouraging-toxic), with diagnostic descriptions in the book and a separate online assessment tool. The reader will be able to identify strengths and needs of their church's culture, and then apply practical strategies (communication, control and authority, selection and placement of personnel, etc.) to make their church's culture more positive. Discusses how to diagnose the state of a church's culture Reveals what it takes to put in place effective strategies for creating a more positive church culture Author served on the board of EQUIP (Dr. John Maxwell's Ministry), equipping five million leaders world-wide.
