the MINISTRY OF FOLLOW-UP & ASSIMILATION: VOLUME ONE — Biblical FOUNDATION: A and Practical Guide to Receiving, Assimilating, Discipling, ... Releasing People in Local Church

What happens to the people who walk through your church doors?They came. They responded to the invitation. They gave their lives to JESUS CHRIST. They joined the congregation.But what happens next?Are they being followed up? Are they being discipled? Are they becoming connected and established in the faith? Are they discovering their place in the Body of CHRIST?Or are some quietly disappearing while the church continues to move forward?The Great Commission was never simply a command to gather people. JESUS CHRIST commanded us to make disciples.Receiving people is only the beginning.This book is a biblical and practical resource for pastors, church leaders, follow-up workers, ministry teams, and believers who desire to build a church where people are not merely counted, but genuinely cared for, discipled, established, and released.In this foundational volume, Apostle Samson O. Adeyemi brings the reader back to the heart of GOD for people and establishes the biblical principles that must govern an effective Ministry of Follow-Up & Assimilation.You will discover: - Why every soul matters to GOD. - Why the Great Commission goes beyond conversion to intentional discipleship. - What biblical follow-up and assimilation really mean. - The difference between follow-up and assimilation and why both are necessary. - Why people become disconnected from churches. - The biblical model of shepherding. - The ministry philosophy that should govern follow-up and assimilation. - How to move from managing people to intentionally shepherding them. >This book will challenge you to look beyond attendance figures and membership records. It will challenge you to see people.Behind every name is a person. Behind every visitor is a story. Behind every new convert is a spiritual journey. And behind every soul is someone whom GOD loves.The goal is not simply to keep people in church. The goal is to help people become everything GOD has called them to become in CHRIST. Whether you are a pastor strengthening your church's people-care ministry, a leader building a Follow-Up & Assimilation Department, a worker learning to care for new believers, or a believer seeking to understand your responsibility toward people, this book will give you a biblical foundation for building a healthy and effective ministry.This is Volume One-the foundation.Before we build the structure, we must understand the foundation. Before we create systems, we must understand the heart.Before we ask how to follow up people, we must understand why people matter.Are you ready to build a church where people are received, cared for, discipled, established, and released for the glory of GOD?Begin the journey.Rediscover the ministry. Rediscover the value of every soul. And begin building from the foundation.
