What Jesus Co-missioned Us to Do "Gary Comer is one of the most mission-minded people I have ever met. He personally helps people turn to Jesus, and he has helped many Christians learn to live on mission. Launch Point is an inspiring, clear, and effective tool to help the people in your church reach the people in their world."--Dave Reynolds, Southwest Church Planting Director"The material in this insightful curriculum captures the heartbeat of disciple-making, drawing from a depth of compassion and refreshing, Spirit-led small group/community group dynamics."--Parnell M. Lovelace Jr., pastor, Center of Praise Ministries, Sacramento, California"Jesus Christ was, and is, serious about the Great Commission, and so is Gary Comer. Launch Point equips the church with a valuable tool for leveraging small groups in the missionary process of making disciples. Primarily considered a vehicle for discipleship inside the church, small groups are mobilized to go outside to reach the lost. Discipling disciples is one thing; making disciples is quite another. Launch Point effectively puts small groups on mission."--Ken Priddy, Executive Director, The GO Center, South CarolinaGary Comer is the Outreach and Training Director of Sandals Church in Riverside, California. The founder of Soul Whisperer Ministries, his passion is helping churches increase mission efficacy. He has authored Soul Why the Church Must Change the Way It Views Evangelism and the Missional Engagement Series. Connect with Gary at www.soulwhisperministry.com.
