In this book, Tim Osiowy draws our attention to one of the most critical concepts facing apostolic ministry today; namely, the need to organize and multiply based upon life giving relationships. Many have struggled to find the way, and here it is! I enthusiastically recommend Tim's sensitive, balanced and important concepts to anyone seeking to understand flexible apostolic structures.

David Cannistraci, Evangel Christian Fellowship, San Jose, California

This book is a must read for all of those who are hungry to look beyond a twentieth century paradigm for the church. Tim as astutely grasped the importance of relationship and flexibility in the post modern era. This book is prophetic and in tune with the times while being faithful to scripture. It is thoughtfully upbeat, practical and brave.
