Ministry Breakthrough: What's Your Story?

Ministry breakthroughs with eternal, kingdom significance are happening across the country. They are stories of moments when outreach ministry reached a new level and transformed the churches involved. They are stories that offer everything from practical steps that others may be able to replicate to inspiration that encourages and fuels a drive to continue working toward another breakthrough that has yet to be achieved. And these stories, many of them unknown and under the radar, are worthy of celebration.

How the power of prayer is creating new opportunites for outreach and evangelism. How a small-town church increased its visibility and influence in the community. How a rural church led the way in racial reconciliation. How a study of the Good Samaritan mobilized a congreation to take on societal problems.
