Discovery is a practical process from Tearfund designed to help your church become a transforming influence within your community.

Written by skilled practitioners who have worked extensively in inner-city communities, Discovery draws on Tearfund's experience of working with churches and community groups in the UK and overseas.

It aims to build on the strengths and aspirations of your church group to help them put their plans into action.

Discovery is designed to help your church to:

• make a difference in your community, transforming lives and offering purpose and hope
• reflect on what the Bible says about meeting the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable people
• build confidence as a team, discover new skills and share experiences.

The Discovery resource pack offers a complete toolkit for engaging, interactive sessions in six stages.  Everything you need to run each session is included in the pack, including a CD-ROM, facilitator's guide and postcard toolkits. Plus:

• biblical reflection on reaching out to vulnerable people
• inspirational activities to discover the potential of your community
• tools to help you discover and understand your community's needs
• ideas to help your group organise and run a project
• advice on how to plan an event or programme.
