Since its debut back in January, God has been using Fusion: Turning First-Times Guests Into Fully-Engaged Members Of Your Church to help churches of every shape and size from all over the country – and even all over the world!

I am humbled by the reception the book has received and thrilled that it is truly helping to change lives.

At least once a week, I get an email from a pastor or church leader who wants to share how Fusion has impacted the way they do ministry. Thought you may be interested in taking a glimpse into a few of these stories:

“I just wanted to let you know that your book, Fusion, has changed (our church). We will never look at a first time guest the same way; they are all gifts from God.  I have heard your talk on assimilation two times, but it really struck a spiritual nerve with the book. I hope you write a book on every system.”

“Thank you for writing Fusion. It has me more excited than ever to reach lost people and to have a plan ready for them when they come, so that we can see them go from first time visitor to membership. I really liked the fictional story that made it all hit home. I have recommended it to several other pastor friends.”

“A few weeks ago, I was discouraged about how few were coming each week to our new church plant, but after reading Nelson’s formula about the number of guest per 100 people who already attend, I realized that we are in the 5 to 7 per hundred and are actually doing pretty well.”

“We will have an Assimilation Team meeting for the first time in a few weeks to get organized. I am very excited and have been pouring over the appendix and making it ours.”

This is just a tiny sampling of the overwhelming response to the book. If you have read Fusion, I hope that its principles have helped you revitalize the way you move newcomers from first-time guests to fully-developing followers of Jesus.

If you haven’t read Fusion, I encourage you to do so. By tweaking your assimilation system in the right way, you can infuse your church with new life. Just click here to check it out.

By the way, if you have a story about how Fusion has changed the assimilation mindset/process in your church, I would love to hear it!

Thank you for helping Fusion to make such an impact.
