I always love it when someone truly champions the local church. I believe with all my heart that it is the hope this world needs—not just great church services but the bride of Christ—people who believe and know Jesus as their Savior and their hope, spreading that hope to a broken community. In this book I’ve found another champion—Mel Mullen—and I am thankful for his voice coming from such a deep well of experience. This is most definitely a book I hope every pastor will read and learn from.

He lives daily the truths talked about in this book, and I am honored to know him and recommend this book to anyone who also wants to live purposefully and be part of building the church.
Donna Crouch, Community Engagement Pastor, Hillsong Church
A move of God is just that—it is sovereign, divine, and beyond our ability to manufacture. However, there are principles and values that He blesses and breathes on which we need to understand and pass on to this new generation. I believe this book will help you capture the heart, the why behind the what, the battles and lessons that have been won, and the values and passion that are now seeing the influence of Home Church reach nations.

Mel’s leadership has resulted in a church that is impacting individuals, communities, cities, and nations all over the world. I hope this book inspires you to live a life of global and multi-generational impact.
