Multiplying Jesus: Revitalizing Churches

by Matthew Fretwell

You’re reading this book for a reason. Whether you’re studying, researching, or participating in a declining or dying church, the intent of this book is to breathe new life into the body of Christ. Hopefully, you will be able to glean knowledge and insight from the practical methods, experiences, and strategies between these pages. There is no one size fits all cure. As well, without the working power of God all of our strategies, research, and good intentions are for naught. The apostle Paul learned that creating plans can eerily become interrupted by God (Acts 16:6–7). The revitalization and renewal process ought to implore great humility and reliance upon the Holy Spirit. Not only the revitalizer, but the people should implement much devoted and dedicated prayer. Revitalization is not about hiring someone to do the work or put people in seats. Revitalization is restoration―it is spirit renewal, reinvigoration, and redirection of a continual onward, inward, and upward mindset.
