Dawn 2000: 7 Million Churches to Go

Dawn 2000: 7 Million Churches to Go by Montgomery, Jim. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780878082209.

This book, the first definitive treatment of the DAWN (Discipling a Whole Nation) movement, will certainly take its place as one of the premier missiological works of the closing years of the 20th Century. It is a book which has all the marks of a classic even before it gets to the bookstore shelves. Only an individual with an extraordinary gift of faith could look out on a troubled and confusing world and see the power of God moving so strongly that there would be one church within easy access of every 400 to 1,000 persons on earth by the end of the century. My personal association with Jim Montgomery spans more than two decades. Knowing him is knowing a man of God who not only accurately perceives Gods long-range purposes, but has the courage to step out and take the risks often necessary to serve him as those purposes take shape. This book is not only the story of DAWN, but it is the warm and moving story of Jim and Lyn Montgomery as they have given their bodies as a living sacrifice for the completion of the Great Commission. Nothing exemplifies their faith and courage more than the bold step they took in mid-career to leave a comfortable position in an established mission agency to pioneer Dawn Ministries, fully expecting to lose their home, their car, their regular income and who knows what else. And nothing could highlight Gods faithfulness more than his constant, loving provision of their needs ever since.
