A systemic disease is lurking inside the church that is derailing it from what God intended it to be, to know, and to do. That disease manifests in practical ignorance and isolation. If the church is to be healthy and thriving, its members must gain the needed know-how and skill sets to meaningfully engage with their increasingly difficult-to-reach unsaved neighbors, communities, and cultures in productive conversations about the good news of Jesus Christ. In other words, there must be a re-missioning of the body of Christ. ReMission practically equips leaders with tried-and-tested solutions that can outwardly mobilize a congregation, small group, or nonprofit ministry, and substantially increase the spiritual vitality of the body of Christ, both locally and globally. . “A rigorous, hope-filled rethinking of our central mission and what it will take to fulfill it. Every serious Christian will benefit by engaging with this important book.” —Mark Mittelberg Bestselling coauthor, Becoming a Contagious Christian Author, Confident Faith and the Becoming a Contagious Christian training course “ ReMission is not just a book title, it is a clarion call and deeply resonating theme that applies to every living, breathing Christian. Read these prophetic pages with an open heart and mind. And let God do the transformational wonders that happen when his mission is deeply rooted and thoroughly expressed in your life and ministry.” —Will Mancini Founder, Auxano Author, God Dreams “‘The biggest challenge of all is to turn the church back into a culture-penetrating entity.’ Gary Comer has identified the single greatest struggle of churches today. We have lost our focus and our influence. This book is gold for the church today—helping us get back to our core mission.” —Dr. Ron Edmondson Pastor, Immanuel Baptist Church, Lexington, KY Consultant, RonEdmundson.com “It’s not a secret any longer: local churches are in trouble. The overwhelming forces of secularism, pluralism, hedonism, relativism, moralism, institutionalism, consumerism, and isolationism are exerting a wrecking-ball effect on numerous churches. Of course, most church leaders are reacting strategically to combat these forces in an effort to turn churches around. However, as Gary Comer asserts in ReMission: Rethinking How Church Leaders Create Movement , most of them are going about it in the wrong ways. Contrary to what most church leaders think, mission is not the byproduct of being a healthy church. Instead, Comer declares that church health flows out of mission. Do you want to make disciples? Get people involved in mission. Do you want to have a healthy church? Get people involved in mission. Do you want to have a dynamic church? Get your leaders involved in mission. And read this life-altering and church-revolutionizing book!” —Gary L. McIntosh, PhD Professor, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University “Systematic, insightful, and paradigm-shifting. Gary Comer introduces a fresh way to engage your churches into the mission of God through his ‘Re-Mission Model.’ Work through this with your lead team and enter into a new day of missional engagement and kingdom transformation in your city.” —Daniel Im Coauthor, Planting Missional Churches Director of church multiplication, NewChurches.com “I love this book! It is the life message of the author, whom I have known for over fifteen years. I love his research and flavorful writing that helps us rethink what God has called us to be and do. He educates and motivates the leader to realign his role to those he leads. We need a fresh insight and visual to recapture the obscured ‘pattern’ to gain the right ‘posture’ that will reopen the hearts of millions to the ‘process’ of genuine transformation. His ideas must be talked about and applied to the present day church at the highest levels so that it can be lived out by everyday followers of Christ.” —Dr. David Mills Pastor and founder, SERVE U International “ ReMission can help us and our congregations rethink the central calling as the people of God in our neighborhoods and beyond. We cannot afford to be distracted by all the programs and busyness of our church life; it is time to learn from the heart and strategic thinking of Gary Comer and recalibrate our hearts to the mission for which Christ assembled His church.” —Dr. Mike Fabarez Senior Pastor, Compass Bible Church “ ReMission takes a bold step in moving pastors and churches into their community with the gospel. Gary Comer lays out a stewarding plan any church can follow.” —Joel Southerland Director of Evangelism, NAMB “Gary Comer delivers an in-depth and candid look at the complexity of reaching our communities with the message of Jesus Christ. He offers a practical and well-thought through process to help you regain mission and momentum in a way that can result in sustained new growth and new life.” —Dr. Dan Reiland Executive Pastor, 12
