Small Group Ministry Literature
Welcome to the ministry of small groups. This satisfying ministry is a wonderful way for everyone involved to find fulfillment and satisfaction. Each of these sessions is designed for 100% involvement in groups ideally ranging in size from as few as 4 to 6 people up to as many as 12 to 15 people.

It is important to remember that these are purposely called EDIFICATIONS and not lessons. The whole idea is lively discussion throughout the session. It is key to understand why they are called “edifications.” The Webster’s New World Dictionary of the American Language defines the word edify as “to build, construct, to instruct: especially to instruct or improve morally, or spiritually.” To put it in a spiritual context, the apostle Paul instructed, "Let all things be done unto edifying" (I Corinthians 14:26). The word "edifying" in the original Greek Scriptures in this verse was oikodome, which means “the act of building, in the sense of edification, the promotion of spiritual growth” (Vines’ Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words).

The best use of this material is in the ministry of building up one another to a strong spiritual house. This is an excellent tool of evangelism to bring the un-churched, or acquaintances from other denominations into a non-threatening setting, which will expose them to the presence of God, fellowship with believers, and also to the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Those who might not come to a church service for many reasons might accept an invitation to your home. Small groups also are one of the most effective ways to build a “safety net” under new converts. One problem new converts often have is finding someone with whom they can develop community and help them to feel their part in the body of Christ as a whole.

	The Pentecostal Writers Fellowship inspires, educates, unites, and supports Pentecostal writers. Whether you are a beginning writer or an experienced one, PWF is for you.
The Pentecostal Writers Institute (PWI) is a biennial conference for writers and designers sponsored by Word Aflame Publications. This conference inspires, educates, unites, and supports Pentecostal writers and designers. Guest presenters and members of the Word Aflame Publications staff share their expertise in a variety of general sessions and workshops, some of which are hands-on. Attendees network to share their experiences, as well as to make new friends. This conference lays out for Pentecostal writers a clear track to follow for impacting the world with the gospel. Anyone wanting to expand his or her writing ministry will benefit from attending PWI. One writer who traveled several hundred miles to attend the 2006 PWI wrote: “The 2006 Pentecostal Writer's Institute was great. It was everything I expected and more. I would definitely advise all writers to attend PWI. The information is priceless, and the fellowship in itself is worth the trip. I learned as much from my fellow writers as I did from the classes.” One member of the Pentecostal Writers Fellowship wrote: “Another smart move was attending the Pentecostal Writers Institute in 2006. When I came back, I was pumped! The conference introduced me to a plethora of reference materials and launched me into the business end of my passion. I still refer to my notes.”

The Word Aflame Publications Elective Series Library has been developed to meet specific needs within a local congregation. There are about twenty-two titles available.

• Textbooks—designed to be used for
either group or personal study. Each
book contains thirteen chapters so that it
can be used during a regular Sunday school
quarter. Each chapter contains additional
help and study questions to assist the reader
in gaining a better understanding of the
particular subject.

• Teacher's resource packet—contains visual
masters and other helps.

• Transparency packet—available for some titles.

• Power Point presentations—available for some titles.
