There are some things God is not willing to leave to the mind of men, and building His Kingdom is certainly one of those things. God has always intended for HIS WORK to be done on HIS TERMS and by HIS STRATEGY. This book lifts from the word of God the pattern of ministry Jesus developed and presents it in a way that makes it clear, understandable, and compelling. What this can do for your church, regardless of size or circumstance, is only limited by how far you are willing to allow the Holy Spirit to take you. When Jesus developed His pattern of ministry He got it right the first time. What Jesus developed shares His characteristic of being timeless. Today, churches can realize their greatest potential when duplicating the pattern of ministry developed by Jesus."Brother Fred has invested years absorbing, applying, and proving the philosophy of ministry developed by our Master. There is ample evidence that God has empowered and emboldened him for service in today's society." Leon Kilbreth (Mr. Sunday School), Aurora, IL"The week Brother Hutto led us in The Pattern was the most spiritually significant event in which our church has ever been involved." Rev. Mike Dobbs, Wiggins, MS"Allow Brother Fred to share his heart with you and I believe you will agree that God can use him to help you. Salem Baptist Church will be forever grateful to this unassuming man of God." Rev. John Gordon, Learned, MS"Brother Hutto has firmly planted the poles of biblical church growth, and he has also strung all the power lines. His genuine love for pastors and the church is evident in his life everyday." Dr. G. R. Travis, Raymond, MS
