Synopses & Reviews
On election night, 1992, Larry Stockstill heard God's still, small voice saying, "There are two things coming to America: harvest and hostility. Your church is not prepared for either of them." God continued to reveal to Stockstill a new model for doing church, a model that brought ministry down to the grassroots, where most church members were active rather than just the "professional pastors." This model expands the evangelism and discipleship possibilities of the church, so that when revival hits, the Church will be able to handle all the new believers. That model is the cell church. See how it is revolutionizing churches around the world and why it promises to be the church model for 21st-century revival.
