Evangelism and discipleship are not hard for us; leader development is the biggest area of need.
The church in our nation is very different from what it was in the 70s and 80s of the last century, when some basic training and foundational material would do. Today what we need is more advanced help with greater depth. In the area of leader development, what LeaderSource is doing is meeting a great need, because it is very high-level and has great depth to it. It is helping us to know how to create our own leader development process and stand on our own feet. Its impact is deep and lasting.”

Malcolm’s new book, A Portrait of a Healthy Church: An Exposition of 1 Thessalonians, studies a key letter to a healthy biblical church, verse by verse, through the lens of the Healthy Church Model. By doing so it reveals what a healthy church is and how it is built, focusing not on techniques but on the life of the leaders and the churches they lead.
