Met die subtitel Vision and Strategy for life-changing ministry gebruik Shawn die verhale van 15 klein gemeentes wat ‘n unieke bediening ontwikkel het:

"Each of the churches represented in these chapters has a story to tell.  You'll discover how each congregation recognized the need to develop its unique ministry, and you'll discover the conditions, observations, and biblical insights that led to the recognition of the need." (p 23).
