In his book, Cultivating Perennial Churches: Your Guide to Long-Term Growth, Bob Dale shares the following about soul gardening:
Congregations are called to serve as cultivators of God’s kingdom. Soul gardening is the sole redemptive purpose of congregations and believers. There’s no other reason for Christian ministry—nothing more, nothing less, nothing else—than planting and nurturing the reign of God in individual lives and in human history. We are Christian disciples who reproduce Christian disciples (Mt. 28:19-20).” [8]
