Just after 5000 people crowded into Anaheim Convention for the Easter Services, God asked Dave two questions that wrecked him and took him to places around the world to search answers to these questions: "Is this it?" (IT=SUCCESS) "What would the church look like if wasn''t contained on a piece of land?" In the wake of these two questions, Newsong strategically went from a church focused on growing bigger to a church focused on growing deeper, which has led to its thriving global ministry today. In Small Cloud Rising, Gibbons takes us on his 10-year journey of a reimagined church. Shedding much contemporary church-growth strategy, Gibbons learned to measure success through paradoxical metrics: Small is big. One is the greatest number. Reach the fringes for maximum impact. Neighbor means someone who''s not just like you. Misfits belong together. Pain can be power. Gibbons watched Newsong transform and rise as the ancient future church. Looking at how God designed us as a community (ancient/past) and what He desired us to become (future). Along this path of change, he learned to see like Elijah, scanning the horizon after years of drought. The prophet saw a small cloud rising, no bigger than a fist, a nearly invisible phenomenon that would soon change everything. It would be small in size but bring a storm that would end the drought.
