Steve Addison

Summary

Simply put, movements are the multiplication of disciples and churches. Drawing on both the ministry of Jesus and also reflections on past and present movements, Addison provides a roadmap for leaders who want to multiply disciples and churches to the ends of the earth. Whether pioneering a new start, riding a wave of expansion, or spiraling in decline, Addison addresses each phase in the movement lifecycle, helping leaders identify their stage and align themselves with God’s purposes.
