Practical guides to growing and caring for new Christians 

The 2nd editions of Dan Holland's 2 practical handbooks released as pdf's earlier in the year are now available in paperback editions.

This material has been 'road tested' with hands-on missioners and church leaders and has been well received.  It aims to set a baseline of expectations and practical measures for both the new believer and for a church where they might happily find their new 'home'. Thinking long these lines is increasingly a part of preparing for mission, so TFM is glad to make them freely available as pdfs (see links below) and printed editions are available - again see links below.
 

Caring for new Christians

There's nothing more wonderful in Christian life then a new birth!
Most churches strongly desire to do Jesus' will in preaching the good news and seeing genuine new believer (or new Christians) come into life-transforming fellowship.

Yet many churches struggle to know how to look after their new coverts.  What should they actually do?

This short book sets a baseline, or a minimum standard, of what you should be providing and what a new Christian has every right to expect from you and your church as you disciple the new believer.

Growing as a new Christian

Becoming a new Christian, being re-born in Jesus' own words, is a life changing and eternity transforming event.  You've given your heart to Jesus and have received Him as Lord, as Saviour and as a Friend.

This short book aims to set our clearly what you should expect, from yourself and from any church that you become involved with.  There are (or should be) expectations on both sides.
