Finding Faith in a New Generation
By Russell E. D. Rathbun (Judson)
A 2010 Outreach Resource of the Year

“Being a Christian isn’t about who we are, but about who Christ is. That is, Christ is our Redeemer and the author of the transforming love we seek to reflect as we live our lives. When we struggle honestly with what this means and how it can compel us to live our lives, those new generations who are barraged daily with deception and hollow content in the service of the hidden agendas of marketers, manipulators and cultural power players will recognize that they have stumbled onto something real. Even if that real truth requires us to confess our falseness and lies, those confessions are necessary if we are to invite non-Christian postmoderns to engage in this beautiful pursuit with us.” Russell E.D. Rathbun, from the book

Gene Appel: Do Less Ministry; Reach More People

None of the programs at our church were bad in and of themselves. The volume of it just prevented us from being focused on building relationships with those who are far from God. So, we had to do less ministry to reach more people. It sounds funny, but people had to be trained in how to do life with nonbelievers or people spiritually disinterested.
