Small group resources tend to overlook the spiritual side of small group leadership. And yet most would agree that spiritual preparation is the most important aspect of leading a small group. Only God’s supernatural power can draw people to the truth and liberate them to be all that God wants them to be.

In a Holy Spirit-charged atmosphere, cell leaders are best raised up and members are encouraged to minister in their giftedness.

Each chapter begins with a unique insight from a worldwide cell church leader who will share decades of wisdom in working with cell groups.

Investigaciones exhaustivas han demostrado que lo que más contribuye al éxito o fracaso de un programa eclesial de grupos celulares es la calidad del asesoramiento que aporte en su grupo cada uno de los líderes de célula.
