  • BREAKTHROUGH CELL GROUPS How One American
    PRAISE FOR BREAKTHROUGH CELL GROUPS “I have had the privilege of being Karen Hurston’s senior pastor for quite a number of years. The Hurstons are synonymous with cell ministry. Karen is truly an expert on the subject of church growth and has twenty-first century insights that bring fresh life to cell ministry in any size church. In her new book Breakthrough Cell Groups, she raises the bar for ministries all over the globe to effectively reach their generation.” JOHN KILPATRICK Senior Pastor of Brownsville Assembly of God, Pensacola, FL “In this book, Karen shows us how we can break through to reach today’s people through creative cell groups. Many years ago, I brought Karen to Phoenix First Assembly to help us develop and start an effective deacons’ visitation ministry, whose impact we still enjoy to this day. May the practical insights from this book help you develop an effective cell group ministry that will last until Jesus comes again!” TOMMY BARNETT Senior Pastor of Phoenix First Assembly “Any Christian who yearns to know the dynamics behind the explosive growth of the first century church reads the book of Acts regularly. Any Christian who yearns to know how those dynamics can be repeated for the explosive growth of the twenty-first century church should read this book. Insights gained can be applied in any church, helping the church to grow.” JOHN KIESCHNICK Senior Pastor of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, Houston, TX “For many months I have been saying that Victory Christian Center is the premiere cell church in America.

It argues that these diverse expressions of Christian faith-fuelled abundance can be understood as a movement, for they stem from a cohesive set of shared understandings. First, the movement centered on Faith. It conceived of faith as an “activator,” a power given to believers that bound and loosed spiritual forces and turned the spoken word into reality. Second and third respectively, the movement depicted faith as palpably demonstrated in wealth and health. It could be measured in both in the wallet—one’s personal wealth—and in the body—one’s personal health—making material reality the measure of the success of immaterial faith.

You're already helping to revolutionize the body of Christ through this fresh baptism of joy, but you've also learned how to sustain God's joy in your life! Because of the awful gut-wrenching struggles you've been through as President of Oral Roberts University, because of the fact that ORU's debt has plunged from $42 million to $21.5 million in only two years.
