Canada is a nation approximately 10.8% evangelical, 82% attending no kind of church at all, and home to 1/4 million immigrants annually, mostly of Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist or Sikh backgrounds. The nation’s most populous city, Toronto, has been designated by a UN agency as the most multicultural city in the world. Canada also is home to the largest unreached French-speaking population in North America. However, 60% of Canada's 9
,500 evangelical churches are plateaued or declining, so the call to renewed church planting, especially with cross-cultural impetus, is critical.
“How can we mobilize Christians to reach out in love to their communities? In Discipling Our Nation, some of Canada’s brightest evangelical thinkers discuss the challenges and successes of evangelism and discipleship in a post-modern society.” Its writers combine to provide timely Canadian data and Biblical motivation for aggressive multicultural church planting, and offer fresh insights for strategic ministry.
A valuable resource for colleges and seminaries, and identified as a must-have for church leaders who share a passion for transforming their communities and discipling the nation.
What Others Are Saying about Discipling Our Nation…
“How can Canada be transformed? By making disciples of Jesus Christ! And this uniquely Canadian resource is a visionary, compelling and extremely helpful compendium of resources for those of us engaged in the Great Commission. May it give us a renewed heart and zeal to see Canada become all God destined her to be.”
- Sally Start, National Director, Alpha Canada
“Murray Moerman continues to make enormous contributions to our understanding of the Canadian scene, linked to what can be done in our ever-changing response to Christ's call to go and make disciples. In this third in a series, he updates our knowledge on what is current in Canada in areas of faith and the church. Then he takes us through areas of need, all with the underlying vision of calling the church to engage in its role of spiritual transformation.”
- Brian C Stiller, President, TyndaleUniversityCollege & Seminary
"How can we mobilize Christians to reach out in love to their communities? In Discipling Our Nation, some of Canada's brightest evangelical thinkers discuss the challenges and successes of evangelism and discipleship in a post-modern society. Distinctly Canadian, the book is must-read for church leaders and seminary students alike."
- Dave Toycen, President, World Vision Canada
Discipling Our Nation comes at a critical time in the life of evangelicalism in Canada. Toronto has been designated as the most multi-cultural city in the world, and post-modernism has captured the hearts of many. At the same time, evangelical advances are slowing and we are not adapting rapidly as we should to new realities. The writers not only call us to engagement but offer fresh insights for speaking Christ in this time and this culture. I hope that this book will make Discipling Canada into a shared passion among Canadian Christians.
- Franklin Pyles, National President, Christian and Missionary Alliance
Because our church community functions as a network of “Home Churches” (who also happen to gather on a larger scale Sunday mornings for extra teaching and celebration), I was especially encouraged by the chapter on the house church concept. Thank you for including this important biblical model in your fine book.
- Bruxy Cavey, teaching pastor at The Meeting House
and author of The End of Religion
"This informative and compelling volume presents an urgent call for all Canadian churches to become involved in planting churches. Its writers combine to provide timely Canadian data and Biblical motivation for aggressive multicultural church planting. The editor Murray Moerman makes a convincing appeal for churches to move beyond the pragmatic and predictably successful church planting into the more difficult missionary motivated cross cultural church planting. The chapter by Cam Roxburgh provides an excellent example of how the church can be strategically positioned to be incarnational and community transforming. This book will be a valuable resource for colleges and seminaries and for church leaders who are serious about the Lord's harvest."
- James Nikkel, Director of Disciple Making International
and author of Church Planting Road Map
“A very useful local and global outreach and church planting resource – with mission appropriate statistical research, accompanied by the analysis of credible authorities, and with best known practices - all from a much needed Canadian perspective.”
– Terry Cuthbert, Urban Church Planting Catalyzer, Montreal,
Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches in Canada
