Description

Alan Scott, a leader in the Vineyard Movement, draws upon his years of experience to share inspiring stories of cities transformed by scattered servants. He shares practical ways for church leaders to move beyond the building walls and take the kingdom to those who need it most. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, Scott argues that every believer, not just the leaders, can fill their city, workplace, and family with the beauty and power of Christ.
 
When believers become scattered servants, the Holy Spirit will equip them to advance the kingdom and change lives through their hearts and hands.

Advance Praise

“When Alan Scott speaks, I try to listen. Where he leads, I try to follow. And now that he’s writing, I’m reading and cheering him on. Scattered Servants is that rarest of things: a book that is necessary. If I had my way, every church leader in the country would be required to read it at least twice.”

Pete Greig, founder of 24-7 Prayer International, Emmaus Rd, Guildford

“Few voices I know are engaging the issue of city transformation and the church’s role with the conviction and clarity that Alan Scott does in Scattered Servants. Revival was never meant to only be a set of meetings confined to a church building. Revival has always been a move of God’s Spirit that awakens the church with a passion for those who are away from Jesus and a passion to see the community they live and work in transformed. This book comes from years of seeing God move in profound ways through a church that was committed to revival through serving their city. As a leader and a pastor, I have both been challenged and inspired by Alan’s leadership and call to see the church empowered and equipped to reach their cities. I am grateful he has written this book and believe deeply this is a message the body of Christ must hear and embrace if we are to see revival in our day.”

Banning Liebscher, Jesus Culture founder and pastor

“Scattered Servants is a magnificent and truly prophetic book. If we are to reach our world with the good news of Jesus, the church has to stop throwing Bible grenades from a safe distance and get involved. Out of the building and into the streets. Alan writes biblically, passionately, and practically. He lives what he writes. It is scriptural and it works. It is time to regain our confidence in the power of the gospel to save men and women and also to transform society.”

Rev. Canon Mike Pilavachi, cofounder and leader of Soul Survivor

“Alan Scott is a wonderful, gifted communicator. Having been friends for many years, I’m excited about Scattered Servants being released. It will inspire and impact you. Prepare to receive as you open these pages.”

Robby Dawkins, author, international conference speaker, and film subject

“As I read this book, I could feel faith and hope pumping through my veins! Here is a Kingdom vision that has the power to release the church to truly bless and transform cities. This book will inspire, unsettle, and I believe profoundly impact the way you follow Christ. It certainly did that for me!”

Tim Hughes, worship leader, singer, and songwriter

“We are at a pivotal moment in the life of the American church. Scandal, decline, and compromise seem to dominate the headlines. Into the heart of this moment Alan has written a prophetic and powerful book to call the church back to its redemptive potential and promise. This book is brimming with hope, moving stories, theological insight, and practical tools to equip the people of God for mission. I believe this will be a real gift to the body of Christ in this urgent hour.”

Jon Tyson, lead pastor of Church of the City New York and author of The Burden Is Light

“Very few leaders think like Alan Scott. Even less live like Alan Scott. His wide, expansive vision of transformation, not just for churches, but for entire cities, hits a deep nerve in my soul. A very hungry part of me says yes. And his humble, yet powerful person is even more compelling. Seeing Alan’s community in Northern Ireland cast a vision in my mind of what could be here in America. But being with Alan is what’s sparked a desire to open up every moment of every day to the Spirit’s work in my own city. This is a voice we need to hear.”

John Mark Comer, pastor of teaching and vision at Bridgetown Church 

“When Alan Scott speaks, I try to listen. Where he leads, I try to follow. And now that he’s writing, I’m reading and cheering him on. Scattered Servants is that rarest of things: a book that is...
