Ministry Leader Releases New Book for Pastors and Churches 'The Compassionate Church'

Contact: Perry Hancock, PhD, Author, 318-235-2910

MONROE, La., April 6, 2015 /Standard Newswire/ -- With the release of his new book, The Compassionate Church, Perry Hancock provides pastors and churches with a powerful resource for developing effective compassion ministries using the CARE Ministry Model. The author provides biblical and theological foundations along with practical structures and strategies for churches that desire to share the good news of Christ in word and deed.

The heart of the book is the CARE Ministry Model. The author identifies CARE as biblical, missional, and transformational. Details of the four components of CARE are provided including examples of mission and vision statements, ministry objectives and plans, and more.

Hancock also includes several value-added features that make The Compassionate Church a must-have resource. Two detailed assessment tools are included: a church ministry assessment survey and a community needs survey. The compassion ministries of churches from across the country are featured and a list of additional resources is provided.

Selected Quotes:

    "Is it possible that the next great spiritual awakening could come as the result of a large-scale compassion ministry movement?"

    "Shifting an existing church to the compassion model can be a challenging task… but seeing lives changed forever is worth all the hard work."

    "Starting a new church with the compassion focus is exciting! Watching the church be the church provides those in need with a picture of Jesus."

Perry Hancock has been involved in compassion ministries for over 30 years. He served as a pastor before joining the faculty at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. As a seminary professor, he created a non-profit ministry that mobilized students to serve children in public housing. Hancock currently leads a multifaceted compassion ministry that provides care for children and families in need.
