Looking back at the Jesus Movement of the 1970s \u2014 and forward to the explosive underground growth of the church in China and Iran \u2014 he makes the case that congregational Sunday services alone won't sustain this generation, and that small groups and deep fellowship are the real container this move of God requires.
