"This book will help the reader discover the difference between a cell church and a church with small groups. You will be spared many detours by learning from Larry's journey."

—Dr. Ralph W. Neighbour, director, Touch Outreach Ministries, Houston, Texas

"Larry Stockstill is the Michael Jordan of home cell groups. If you want to learn how to develop a cell church, Larry is the one to ask and to imitate. Three cheers for Larry for putting his dynamic ideas into a book. If you are a church leader, you will not want to miss it!"

—C. Peter Wagner, founder, Global Harvest Ministries

On election night, 1992, Larry Stockstill heard God's still, small voice saying, 'There are two things coming to America: harvest and hostility. Your church is not prepared for either of them.' God continued to reveal to Stockstill a new model for the Church. This model expands the evangelism and discipleship possibilities of the church, so that when revival hits, the Church will be able to handle all the new believers. That model is the cell church. See how it is revolutionizing churches around the world.

About the Author
Pastor Larry Stockstill was called into the ministry at the age of 16 and immediately responded to that call. After graduating in 1971 from Baker High School in Baker, Louisiana, he enrolled in Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, graduating in 1975 with a degree in theological and historical studies. Upon graduation, Pastor Stockstill continued at ORU as associate chaplain until 1976. At that time he and his wife, Melanie, moved to West Africa to serve as missionaries in Nigeria and Ghana. In 1978 they returned to Louisiana, where Pastor Stockstill joined the pastoral staff of Bethany World Prayer Center, the church his father, Roy, had founded in 1963. In August 1983, Roy Stockstill retired as senior pastor of Bethany, and the mantle of leadership passed to his son, Larry.

A trademark of Bethany is its emphasis on small group involvement for its 10,000+ members. Realizing the need to make the large church personal and accessible to its members, Pastor Stockstill, in 1993, began the transition of Bethany from a program-based church to a cell church. In this capacity, members meet weekly in small groups in homes throughout the city and surrounding area. The cell group ministry began with 54 cells and now has 1,371 cell groups with 6,142 members.
