Rare original 1983 edition of a recently re-released History of a Nascent Pentecostal Fellowship Turned Global Movement
Journalist turned pastor Steve Cooper originally wrote "Go Ye" in 1980 to describe the ten year history of a wing of the Foursquare Gospel Church denomination that was exploding with growth under the leadership of Pastor Wayman Mitchell, of the Prescott Arizona Potter's House Foursquare Church. This wing would later separate itself (much like Calvary Chapel and Vineyard Fellowship did around the same time) to become what is now known as Christian Fellowship Ministries (CFM), a network of independent charismatic churches holding fast to classic Pentecostal doctrine and the fellowship distinctives of local church discipleship and aggressive church planting. Today, CFM is going stronger than ever with over 3800 Churches worldwide and with its founder, Pastor Wayman Mitchell, listed by Newsmax as one of the ten most successful missionary leaders in Church history.
This rare edition of Go Ye is an original of the revised 1983 version published soon after CFM split from Foursquare and covers the period from 1970-83. Cooper was a good writer and the theological content of this book holds up very well indeed. The re-published version that is still available on Amazon is called, "Go Ye: The Arizona Fellowship" and is a reprint of a 1981 version when CFM was still under Foursquare. There is another forty years of CFM history that neither edition touches upon but there are plenty of other histories, testimonials, biographies, and doctrinal books floating around by CFM pastors and evangelists to fill the void if one were seriously interested in learning more. CFM is currently led by Wayman Mitchell's son, Greg Mitchell, who has written an excellent book on healing if you want to learn more about that subject.
This book is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for those interested in church planting, discipleship doctrine, Pentecostalism, Church History, evangelicalism, and all things CFM... if you can find one of these rare original editions!
