39 Stories Challenge

Your Christian community is full of people with powerful, life-transforming stories to share with the world. What if you had a tool to help tell their stories efficiently and effectively? As a leader, are you eager to move past superficial relationships and into deeper and more authentic community? Are you looking relevant ways to obey the command of Christ which says "to be my witnesses" (Acts 1:8)? This can all happen through sharing your stories with one another, and with the world. This practical leadership guide, companion to 39 Stories (a 40-day devotional eBook available on 39-Stories.com), will walk you through the process we embarked on when we produced our book of compelling, real-life accounts of faith and perseverance in the midst of life's most challenging circumstances. The 39 Stories Challenge will explain the 5 steps in creating a book of your own. It also includes all the tools we used for project management, formatting, team formation, technical/legal considerations and more. It can save your hours of hassle and unfortunate mistakes. How will a collaborative project like 39 Stories benefit your church or community? -You'll grow stronger and closer as you become more vulnerable and transparent.-You'll be better equipped to evangelize as you develop a culture of testifying about God's activity in your lives.-Your book will help advance the Kingdom of God and point others to Christ. -This book can be a wonderful gift for visitors to your church to help them get to know you, and inspire them to walk more closely with God. The authors, John and Kelsie Mullen, have pastored an international church called Prague Christian Fellowship, since 1997.
