Description
This comprehensive handbook to urban ministry introduces and shows how to implement a Christian community development program.
If you are already in the trenches of rebuilding a desperate community, or if you are sensing God’s call to such a ministry, this book will serve as a compass, a reference tool, and a source of encouragement and wisdom. Filled with practical counsel born from decades of experience on the front lines of restoration, this book covers concerns such as racial reconciliation, relocating your family to a needy community, redistribution of skills, finances, and education, and much more.
