Meet the professor I wish I’d had

In my 25 years of ministry I’ve had the privilege of hearing first-hand from the greatest church history teachers and experts in church growth. And the more I dive into our recent history, the more I discover incredible insights and applications to church growth today!

So I want to share one of my favorite professors with you.

Spiritual-Life-of-Pastor-Elmer-TownsDr. Elmer Towns has been an eyewitness to key events in the past century that hold a ton of very practical – and very relevant – lessons for all of us in ministry. And now from that recent history, Dr. Towns (co-founder of Liberty University) has put together animpressive study of the ten most influential churches.

You may not know many of these churches and church leaders – but thanks to Dr. Towns you will soon discover their great impact on your church growth today!

Influential_Churches_web_icon-02Based on his 200th book of the same name, my friend Dr. Towns presented this practical teaching, The Ten Most Influential Churches of the Past Century, live at one of my coaching events. But while it is complementary to the book, it is not the exact content. When he finished his talk, I told him we can’t limit this teaching to just this room.

And he agreed! We want to shared this exclusive content with you – content that is NOT in the book and is focused on practical applications for you and your own church growth. 

This resource explores the ten churches that have had the greatest influence on Christianity worldwide in the past 100 years. Their influence spans across culture and across time. 

History has shown that great leaders have the ability to reach beyond the walls of their churches to influence cultures for Christ.

You’ll learn from leaders who prevailed against insurmountable odds, with limited resources, in difficult circumstances, all to glorify God. These were average people whom God used in above-average ways. 

So with the most unlikely people at the helm, some of the most influential churches emerged in the most unlikely places. These were not just large churches. Not necessarily famous churches. Many are in countries where there is the strongest opposition to the Gospel.

You’ll hear the stories and case studies from Dr. Towns who has been an eyewitness to history. From the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement, to the explosive growth of house churches in Communist China to the expansion of the Southern Baptist Convention and the worldwide rise of praise and worship music led by Hillsong Church – you’ll discover their innovative strategies and how you too can experience exponential growth in your church!

No matter what challenges you may be facing in your ministry, you’ll be motivated by these historical leaders to be the most influential person for God that you can be!
