Breakout is the story of one church's discovery of a Spirit-empowered, New Testament model of church. It is an honest, inspiring testimony to the truth that the Gospel of Jesus still maintains its life-changing power and God's people still have it in them to change the world.

St Andrew's Chorleywood has been at the forefront of church renewal for over three decades. In the last five years, it has seen substantial growth as the congregation has moved from drawing people to one place, to a model in which well over a thousand believers have been sent out in mission-shaped communities of up to 50 members, meeting in school halls, community centres, coffee shops and other contexts.

This daring move has resulted in the raising up of over a hundred new leaders, a massive release of spiritual gifts, great vision and creativity in outreach, and major growth through evangelism.

Mark Stibbe is Vicar of St Andrew's Church, Chorleywood. He is a popular speaker and author of many books.

Andrew Williams is Associate Vicar of St Andrew's Church, Chorleywood.

Although this is a story about dramatic church growth and ‘breakout’ from a ‘come and join us’ to ‘we’ll come and meet you’ model of church, this book is also a personal story. Mark Stibbe is Vicar of St Andrew’s Chorleywood and tells the story of transformation and rapid growth through forming ‘Mission Shaped Communities’ (MSC). Co-written with his colleague Andrew Williams this honest account looks at regrets as well as success and is told as a day to day diary with names of individuals and detailed accounts of how they felt the Lord lead. Using the image or turning a cruise ship in to lifeboats, with MSC’s serving particular groups of people, they just kept growing. This is a gripping read of how renewal in mission has worked in one church. I am sure it will affect others.
