A systemic disease is lurking inside the church that is derailing it from what God intended it to be, to know, and to do. That disease manifests in practical ignorance and isolation. If the church is to be healthy and thriving, its members must gain the needed know-how and skill sets to meaningfully engage with their increasingly difficult-to-reach unsaved neighbors, communities, and cultures in productive conversations about the good news of Jesus Christ. In other words, there must be a re-missioning of the body of Christ. ReMission practically equips leaders with tried-and-tested solutions that can outwardly mobilize a congregation, small group, or nonprofit ministry, and substantially increase the spiritual vitality of the body of Christ, both locally and globally. .
Comer’s ReMission seeks to spur believers toward Jesus’ central mission: go and make disciples. He unapologetically states that “if your church or ministry does not have a steady stream of new believers, growing, and reaching ever-extended networks of people, you have veered off course.” Strong words? Perhaps. But just the kind of challenge that Christians need in a polarized twenty-first-century landscape.
I hope that as you read ReMission, the pathway back toward God’s mission will become clear. Do you want to join Jesus in His epic redemptive mandate? Create space for people to flow in the fivefold ministry. Do you want to make disciples? Establish mission at the center of all your missional activities. Do you want your church to experience explosive growth? Reorient your people from event-based gatherings to relational, mission-focused outreach. And if you’re still unsure of the first few steps to take, Gary Comer is here to guide you on the journey.
