What our customer's say!

"Review", Nelson knows what he's talking about. What's interesting is that we started doing some of the things he talks about in this book prior to buying it, and it's like a confirmation of what needs to be done in the church. So we're using this book to fine tune.
Great Read!

"Excellent Resource!! ", This is a great resource for those that are in the church leadership who want to find key ways to growing your congregation by numbers as well as by commitment level. Written in a plain, straightforward way, this book allows for those reading to start implementing the steps right away. Gives templates and guides on how to be the most effective in your community.

"Excellent strategies for church growth", Searcy and Henson have done a great job of putting together a very practical and readable guide to church growth. The basic premise is assimilating guests into engaged members by practicing an intentional hospitality and a structured follow-up strategy. The methodology makes perfect sense, and it is the same approach that Searcy used to grow his "from scratch" church in NYC. It is targeted toward a younger audience but could be adapted to different segments. There are also templates and other tools included in an appendix which make this a very implementable system. Searcy also shows that the motivation behind church growth is found in Bible verse. More information about Searcy can be found at www.ChurchLeaderInsights.com.

"A Must Read for All Church Assimilation Directors", I read Nelson's book this morning, handed it to my Assimilation Director this afternoon, and sent Nelson a note tonight, congratulating him on a fine piece of work. New Song has been doing many of the things Nelson suggests for a long time, but his is a systematic approach that thinks through and closes the gap on each potential point where a newcomer might fall through the cracks.

I doubt if any of the pieces of Nelson's assimilation system are new. He's probably borrowed alot from Saddleback and a little from others. What Nelson has done is thought through, written down, and explained what to do, so that no one ever has to start from scratch again. This is a church assimilation primer! The surprising thing is that no one has written this book before. The laudable thing is, Nelson has now done it for us.

Smaller churches, if you want to think like a larger church, this is a very good place to start. As you grow, you'll need to adopt this type of system for welcoming newcomers, along with equally comprehensive systems for Small Groups, children's ministry, youth ministry, visitor attraction, branding your signature event in the community, and every other subministry of the church.

Larger churches may not need this - if they're already doing as much or more for visitors. Personally, I'm going to huddle with my team and use it as a reference guide and checklist to make sure we've closed as many gaps in our welcoming process as possible.

Great job Nelson! Keep them coming!

"Must read book for welcoming guests to your church!", This is a great book to help your church implement a great guest welcoming program (hospitality). It is very practical and useful. You may not agree with everything, but you don't need to, to implement the program! This is uptodate and top notch.

"Simple and Practical", We are a 2 year old church plant in Tampa (Church at the Bay). What I love about Nelson's system is it can be given to a new staff member or volunteer and they can run the process for the church (we did this!). As a church start, we put tons of energy into getting people to come for the first time. The next step is to turn those first time guests into regular attenders and Christ Followers. This book will help your church to help people establish a growing relationship with Jesus Christ!

"A Must Read for Connecting People", I became a Nelson fan in April of 2007 when I was introduced to his Assimilation System through a coaching network. We have seen nothing but positive results from the system that he maps out in this book. Three out of every five first time guests have returned, we have 65% of our adults in community groups and over 50% of our people volunteering. Our Church is 10 months old and we wouldn't be where we are if it wasn't for Nelson and his practical approach to connecting people to the local church.

You will read this over and over again!

"Great Book for Assimilation", This is a must read for every pastor and staff who are serious about impacting the lives of those they reach. If you are serious about reaching people, and then assimilating them into the church, you must read Fusion. It's practical and it works! Nelson in a practical way will help you understand how to bring first time guest into full engagged members of the church. Read it, Live it, Practice it!

"Another winner from Searcy!", Nelson has put out another great resource for all of us who are ready to work 'on' the church, not just 'in' the church. In his familiar style, Nelson cuts to the chase and gives us all what we really wanted... PRACTICAL STEPS. Its nice to have a younger pastor/practitioner who doesn't spend half of the book bashing the mega-church or getting lost in some vague postmodern theories. In this book you will find a well developed system for helping connect new visitors into the fabric of your church. Stop working so hard getting people to visit if you're not going to work just as hard helping them plug in and feel connected!

This book works. Thats all you need to know.

"Your church will benefit greatly from this book!", Every church needs systems to accomplish their purpose. We spend so much time, energy and money on getting first-time guests into our churches. But what do we do AFTER they have come into our doors? That's where Fusion will make a HUGE difference to every pastor and church leader. Step by step, Nelson guides you through an assimilation system that WILL give you great results in taking first-time guests to membership. If you are looking for what works - this is it!

Let me invite you to follow the steps that our church, The Pointe (www.thepointega.com), located in Albany, Georgia, took and in less than 18 months have grown from zero to over 600 attending each week! The steps you find in this book are a MAJOR reason we have seen our growth!

Are you a church leader looking for a proven system to assimilate first-time guests into your church? Are you a pastor looking for a system that you can build a team around? Fusion is the answer. This book belongs on every pastor's/church leader's list of books to read in 2008! Get yours today!
