Paul and Barnabas made a decisive move toward the end of the first missionary journey: they appointed elders in the churches they had established, entrusting them with responsibility to shepherd the young congregations. The need for faithful shepherding has not changed since that time, yet the leadership structure of most churches no longer follows this model. The authors argue that a return to the New Testament pattern of elder plurality best serves the shepherding needs in a local church. The authors suggest a workable process for improving a local church's leadership structure and making the transition to elder plurality. Along the way, the stories of the authors and other church leaders provide a narrative of how faithful elder leadership has strengthened their ministries. The book also addresses a plan for leadership development in difficult international mission settings. Church leaders will find this a useful resource for building a healthy leadership structure. This book is an extensive revision of the previously-published Elders in Congregational Life, including updates throughout, additional illustrations, and a new chapter addressing how missionaries may effectively apply the New Testament's teaching on elder plurality. 9Marks is a well-known ministry organization dedicated to equipping church leaders with a biblical vision and practical resources.

______________

Phil A. Newton (D.Min., Fuller Theological Seminary) is a senior pastor at South Woods Baptist Church in Memphis, Tenn., where he has been since 1987. In ministry for more than thirty years, he also has served as an adjunct professor at several schools, and is regularly involved in leading international mission teams. Phil and his wife, Karen, live in Germantown, Tenn. Matt Schmucker was the founding executive director of 9Marks. He now organizes several conferences, including Together for the Gospel and CROSS, while serving as an elder at Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, D.C.

______________

The book written from a baptist perspective, is helpful for any church or pastor who is interested in thinking through the office of elder. The writing is biblically sound and practical. I found the final chapter to be deeply helpful for training elders in nations and cultures where it is difficult to provide that training. Kyle

Does the job. Made a set of battery cables that look professionally manufactured using a hydraulic crimper. The heat shrink adds a nice touch.

These things are BRIGHT!
Color: 4.5" Combo Light
After watching some videos, I decided to pick up these lights to go on my work truck. I work in a lot of remote locations across CO, WY, and NM. Traveling at night down dark highways and dirt roads can be a little stressful when wildlife is out. Not anymore with these lights! I can easily see anything in the ditches around me and at least 3/4 of a mile ahead of me. I’ve been running them for a few months and have had zero issues out of them. They seem to be super durable, easy to install with all the wiring included, look great on the truck, and you cannot beat the price to performance value. It’s also nice that the include yellow lenses to change the color of the beams for fog. Don’t waste your money on more expensive lights, these will get the job done perfectly for a lot less.
