A comprehensive handbook to urban ministry
John Perkins has committed his life to bringing racial reconciliation and development to America’s at-risk communities. Now Dr. Perkins, along with fourteen other urban ministry professionals, shares a wealth of experience in this handbook for Christian community development.
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 from the front lines, Restoring At-Risk Communities will challenge you with
● a theology of the vision and methods of Christian community development
● guidelines for relocating your family to a needy community
● the importance and difficulty of racial reconciliation
● principles of redistributing skills, finances, and education
Ministering to an at-risk community is not easy, but committed Christians with a vision for Christ’s redemptive plan can make a lasting difference.
