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. For believers who love where they live and want to see transformation happen beyond the church building, Scattered Servants practically explains how to unleash the church and bring life to broken cities. Alan Scott founded Causeway Coast Vineyard Church in Ireland in 1999, and served there as the lead pastor for almost twenty years. A visionary leader and gifted communicator, Scott regularly speaks throughout the UK and US on topics of evangelism and building the kingdom of God. He and his wife, Kathryn, are Senior Pastors of Anaheim Vineyard Church, CA. Introduction: Loving the City Back to Life 13 1. The Spirit Rests Upon the Servants 17 2. Among the People 33 3.

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." "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." "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." "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." "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. Th
