When you try to win everyone you usually win no one. Renewing churches that view the whole population of an area as theirs is not realistic. Church Revitalizers who assimilate well, gather in pockets and fishing pools desiring to catch those who already an affinity with each other. As the Lord continues to advance the renewal effort, opportunities will open up and then you can enlarge your scope. The reason so many churches fail in this area is because they want to utilize the reach everyone strategy and the effort fails in reaching anyone.
