New book that examines how revival in the Western Church will have a global impact.
Dave Blundell, one of our licensed workers, and the Executive Director for Hungry For Life International, has written a new book that serves a phenomenal resource for churches.
"I believe that the Church has the power and ability to transform the world", says Dave
Blundell in his new book... It may seem to be an audacious claim, but it is one that Blundell has studied, proven and practiced in his years as a student, a pastor, a parachurch ministry worker and now as the founder of the mission organization, Hungry For Life International.
Weaving real-life experiences and stories with strong Scriptural application and study questions, Hungry For Life will be a valuable resource for leaders in local churches who desire to experience personal, corporate and global change. ..
In Hungry For Life Blundell takes a unique approach to world missions by not offering a prescription for behaviour modification. Instead, he offers a call for renovation of the heart, building on the premise that a deeper global commitment is the by-product of deeper spirituality. In explaining that the spiritual poverty of the Church affects global issues, Blundell states "There is a clear link between the spiritual health of God's people and the social health of the poor. Throughout Scripture, when God's people lost their first love, they failed to tangibly love those in need around them. God constantly points to social injustice as evidence of misplaced spiritual affection."

Endorsement for Hungry For Life:
Speaking to our hearts and heads, this challenges us to stop turning a blind eye and calls us to action. Straight forward and clear as day; we know that the church needs a major re-boot in order to face the future and Dave has given us that picture in terms of our worldwide impact. If we want to remain alive, this is one of the things that the Western Church must address. We have built an organization, called 'the church', which is repulsing the next generation. Their hearts cry for justice in our dealings with the rest of the world. Dave calls the Church to change, to action, and to justice.
