I have had very positive experiences with small groups in a variety of settings. The first group was a "turbo" introductory group with six other people, then a small group of approximately 12 individuals in my home following evangelistic series (several baptisms resulted; many of them continue as faithful SDAs; two church plants were developed and continue from individuals who were new SDAs); men's accountability group with three other individuals (life-changing, the at least three of the group are thoroughly committed soul-winners); and adult sponsor of collegiate, small group-based Sabbath School at Andrews University (life-changing for the students; developed many study guides for the students to use). Later I spent a week in Melbourne, Australia with Johnny and Tina Wong, the founders of the Gateway Church, which has Care Groups, and is arguably one of the most successful soul-winning churches on the planet from what I can tell.
All of my small group experiences were positive and greatly impacted the participants.
In this resource I provide information on how to have a life-changing small group. This group has an easy way of doing study, and also includes accountability. I was part of such a group for a time and was greatly impacted by the experience. Two church plants were spawned out of these small group efforts as well.
