Think of anyone contagiously enthusiastic about their faith. They rarely became that way from reading an academic textbook or ministry program manual. Someone invited them close and said, “Come and see.”
That is how spiritual transformation spreads. It is caught, not simply taught, through proximity to someone who already carries it.
Many leaders wonder if their congregation has lost that contagious energy. It is an uncomfortable question and an important one.
For over 25 years, Church Doctor Ministries has put leaders in proximity to this holy infection wherever God is moving. On the England 2027 trip, you will brief, engage directly with practitioners, and debrief with Church Doctor coaches to translate what you caught into something transferable for your church.
Leaders who get close enough to catch it can spread it. Leaders who never do keep waiting for enthusiasm to appear on its own.
Get close enough to catch it:
