The Hole in Our Gospel


Personal Quest Study Guide

What does God expect of us? Based on World Vision US president Rich Stearns' book, The Hole in Our Gospel, this six-week study challenges Christians to expand their personal and transforming faith into a public and transforming relationship with the poor. "The gospel, or good news, proclaimed by Jesus is so much more than a private transaction between God and us," Rich Stearns writes. "It is a vision of a changed people challenging and changing the prevailing values and practices of our world."

Through scripture, interviews with top Christian leaders, and stories, this DVD study will inspire participants to see God's heart for the poor and respond with wholehearted obedience to the complete gospel. Stearns offers numerous examples of Christians who creatively use their influence, skills, and money to make a difference. Stearns believes that the combined efforts of 2 billion Christians worldwide, each doing their part, can change the world.
