God's Design for the Church

Pastor Conrad Mbewe Explores the Biblical Role of the Church, with a Focus on Africa At the beginning of the twentieth century, Christians in Africa numbered approximately nine million—by the end, that number had grown to more than 380 million. As the number of Christians continues to grow, African pastors are often overwhelmed and in desperate need of guidance. Drawing from 3 decades of pastoral experience in Zambia, Conrad Mbewe has written a comprehensive handbook specifically for African pastors and church leaders. Structured around 20 commonly asked questions about God's design for the church, this helpful resource covers topics ranging from the definition of church and the role of church members to the importance of doctrine. Through this book, Mbewe aims to equip pastors and leaders with biblical principles that will 'permeate the landscape of Africa and transform its churches for generations to come.' - Written by an Experienced Pastor: Conrad Mbewe has over 30 years in ministry - Focus on African Diaspora Churches: Deals with issues plaguing the church in Africa such as family and tribal ties, the influence of African traditional religion, and misconceptions about the church - Globally Relevant: Essential biblical principles that are applicable to churches throughout the world
