Book synopsis

Can local churches transform regions?

The church described in Acts provides a clear biblical example of a resource church that overflows with the presence and power of God into their region with all the resources God gives.

By demonstrating the characteristics, structures and strategies that any community of Christ-followers desiring to reach out beyond themselves can adopt, Matthew Porter shows how we can learn to give away what God gives and be encouraged to make steps to become a church that overflows with the good news of Christ.

Overflow is for anyone who wants to see their church have an overflowing impact on their surroundings and who wants to play a part, however big or small, in seeing churches renewed and society transformed.
