Two are better than one

THE CHURCH OF TWO - AN INTRODUCTION

We all know that Jesus called twelve disciples. However, we have missed the key fact that He also combined themtogether in pairs. (Matt 10:2-4, Acts 1:13, etc.) No doubt Jesus had in mind the principle that “two are better thanone” (Ecc. 4:9-12). For this reason, it seems likely that the first and most basic expression of church for Jesus wasbetween two people (Mt. 18:20). To say this another way, the Kingdom (the rule and reign of Jesus) is expressed first in a“church of two” (CO2).This eBook is not a book of theory. Rather, it is a book of practice. Learning by doing. That is, it is a field guide orworkbook designed to be used by two people who want to begin to experience “pair power”. The two people can be ahusband and wife, parent and child or simply two friends. So, your first step is to ask the Lord who you are to invite to join you in a “church of two”. Send the “CO2 Flyer” and this eBook to your partner to look over. Invite them to ask theLord if they are to join you.This eBook is designed to be used daily for 30 days. Each day will have a short article to read or video to watch that willtake you deeper into some aspect of the CO2. As you connect with your partner daily, talk over what you have read orwatched that day. You can connect in person or on the phone. On some days, your check in may be as short as 10minutes. On other days, it may be much longer. Ask questions and tell stories. There is a growing community of people around the world who have formed “churches oftwo”. We would love to hear your stories about your CO2 and we would be glad to answer any questions you have.*Send stories and questions here:DenverWH@aol.com*Subscribe to the blog here:http://www.regionalrevolutionaries.blogspot.com /
