New Life is a church based on the Cell Church model. That is to say we are radically committed to ministry in small groups or cell groups as they are called. Rather than having all ministry take place in the large gathering our church emphasises small group ministry. Rather than one person doing all the ministry, we encourage all people to engage in ministry.

In this book, Randall Neighbour gives some solid practical advice about ministry in cell groups- what it means to be a cell leader, the personal requirements etc.

What this book did for me was to again emphasise three important things:

• Personal evangelism and the need to continue to relate to non-believers
• The importance of mentoring and disciple-growing
• The Encounter Weekend retreat where a mixture of teaching and prayer counselling are used to help people get breakthroughs in their spiritual lives.

This book was a huge encouragement for me as a pastor to again become pro-active in leading my church in growing closer to Jesus.
