Why do we use icebreakers?
Icebreakers are essential to the growth of cell churches. People do not easily open up in a group in terms of their needs and pain. They must learn to share, that it is safe to share. Without ice breakers the group will not have the confidence to share difficult situations openly. Icebreakers can help you get to know things about your cell members which otherwise you would never have known.
