Publisher's Synopsis
This fascinating book tells the inspiring story of the Dundas Seventh-day Adventist Church in Sydney, Australia. Once on the brink of closure, the Dundas Church experienced a remarkable revival by following a set of transformative steps outlined in the Bible. As a result, the once-shrinking church grew from a small, elderly, and largely ethnic group to a diverse congregation with an average of 100 attendees in just three years. Discover the secrets behind their success in this book, which outlines how:
- In response to prayer and requests for help, God sent an able team of workers to help
- A 6-month plan for evangelism that included prayer, a wide range of outreach programs tailored to the community's needs, and in-person invitations rolled into action
- The church navigated through COVID-related setbacks and emerged even stronger
- Zoom meetings, social media, and QR codes helped the church team to keep working even when things were shut down
- The once quiet church became so busy that it now offers programs every day of the week.
Through the entire transformation, the health message (including "Dinners with the Doctor" and other outreach programs) played a vital role. Written by Dr. Eddie Ramirez (who worked with the team and witnessed the miraculous answers to prayer in terms of church and program attendance), this book provides the "blueprint" for any struggling church looking to turn things around. As the Dundas church story so powerfully shows, any church that follows these same steps and trusts in God can:
- Be blessed with similar success, and
- Become a thriving community of faith.
