    About this ebook

    Running a life-giving small group can be difficult, but it doesn't have to be hard. As lay leaders it's easy to become frustrated when our groups don't grow.

     

    Small groups are the life blood of a growing and vibrant church. It's like-minded people going after the same thing, a deeper connection with each other and with God.

     

    In Focus: Up, In, and Out, author of the Amazon best-selling children's book King Lyle and the Purple Dragon, Jason (J.B.) Sisam reveals 3 powerful strategies to running an effective small group to help you move from frustration to success by seeing lives changed, healed, and saved. He shows you you how to

    • look at your purpose for running a small group
    • focus upward by teaching attenders how to love God
    • focus inward by helping people grow in their faith
    • focus outward by equipping attenders to serve and go!

    Most leaders struggle with maintaining a healthy small group. This book will give you focus you need to achieve the ultimate goal of helping more people find true life in Jesus Christ.
