10th Anniversary Issue

Inside the Jan/Feb 2013 Issue

10 Years of Outreach

Over the past decade, Outreach magazine has provided a platform for the people and principles shaping outreach in the American church. It has told the stories, interviewed the leaders, championed the innovations and documented the church-tested ideas that are still making a difference across the country.

In this 10th Anniversary Special Issue, we look back and we look ahead. We revisit 10 classic conversations with leaders like Luis Palau, Gabe Lyons, Wayne Cordeiro, Erwin McManus and others, and we talk with 12 emerging leaders helping to shape the next decade of the American church. We also look at four churches that were changed from the inside out once they sharpened their focus on those outside their doors. And in the Outreach Interview, Saddleback founding pastor Rick Warren gives perspective not only on his ministry but on the opportunities and challenges we all face as we seek to reach our community and change the world.
