    About this ebook

    "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

    How do you take a group of Christians for whom the gospel and Christian life seems relatively powerless, and infuse into them power to change them and their church?

    You need genuine apostolic (think early church) community.

    Not the type of community that you find in a monastary, or among the amish, but something that happens in the hearts of people.

    This book describes such a thing, and talks from both experience and scripture.

    David Alley

    From the young age of 19 David pastored his own church in the once gold rich Mt Morgan, Australia. For 14 years David experienced the up and down life of a rural minister in a small town with high unemployment and the ebb and flow of life. Back when Google was new, David discovered Adwords as a method to promote non profit ideas and started using Google Ads to share the gospel with people linking them to resources and information on his websites. This was a novel idea at the time, the ads were cheap with no competition. In a space of 2 years David introduced 3000 people to Christ and shared the gospel with over 40,000 people in about 20 languages from over 100 countries. Many people joined churches as a result. In addition, David has built a number of ministry websites has written a number of articles and short books promoting evangelism and mission. David is currently Personal Assistant to John Alley and youth pastor at Peace Australia. In addition to preaching weekly at youth services, David leads teams of young people to various places to share the gospel and to grow ministry gifts in them. David has travelled to a number of nations including Haiti, India, Sri-Lanka, the Philippines, and has also lived in Papua New Guinea for 5 years as a child with missionary parents. David is a drupal developer in addition to his work with youth and mission and has a number of blogs of a variety of subjects at www.davidalley.com.au

      All scripture taken from the HOLY BIBLE, NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION®. NIV®. Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society. Used by permission of Zondervan. All rights reserved worldwide.

      Introduction:

      This booklet is a discussion about how to find community in a local church, and in a local region between believers in Christ. By community of course, I mean the giving of the heart, untiy of mind and purpose. I refer to the type of thing we see in scripture in the early church. Such a thing seems almost unattainable for us, and yet this booklet will show it to be within reach.

      The major points of this book were drawn after analysis of search engine query statistics, which highlighted particular questions that are being asked online. In answering these questions, the majority of information has been drawn from John Kingsley Alley's Holy Community. This short book can be considered in part to be a summary of John's book and this is done with his permission.

      The purpose of this book is to help with the advance of the Kingdom of God and written with several types of people in mind. Firstly for the pastor or leader with little time, but needing concise and accurate information. This book can be read in under an hour.

      Secondly for many pastors in Asia and Africa, a regular book of 200 pages, worth about $20, is beyond their means, and is too big a file to easily download in a small Internet café. Hence this summary of information. Being quick to download, it is accessible by all, and also free of charge on our ministry website www.peace.org.au

      There is limited copyright placed on these materials. As long as you agree to comply with the following four (4) conditions, you are free to copy, give away, publish, translate into other languages, and reproduce this material in any other form that will help advance the Kingdom of God.

      The names of the authors must remain on the work, as well as the contact details for our ministry.

      This Introduction must also be translated and included.

      You must include your own preface/introduction, stating who published the new version, and for what purpose you intended this.

      You provide a digital copy of your publication, so that we also have the ability to make it available to others on our website.

      Please forward all translations and other information to davidalley@peace.org.au. We reserve the right to revise any translations or variations that we feel are not in the spirit of the message of apostolic grace we received from the Lord Jesus. You also have permission to recover your expenses by selling the product for a reasonable fee. We would be delighted for you to share and spread this word for the good of God's people.

      In addition, you can also find many other free resources (audio, video and books) on our website at www.peace.org.au
