"I've seen firsthand the impact Messy Church is having around the world--particularly in places where church participation is in decline. Moore and Leadbetter's passion, creativity, and can-do attitude is contagious. They have created an inspiring and immensely practical approach that is neighbor welcoming, Christ conscious, and fun. It's time to get messy, play, eat, explore God's story, and build community together."
