Publisher's Synopsis
What would happen if the church is seen as the centre of community development? What changes when the church becomes the primary source of help for a village or community in symphony with government and non-government resources? What if addressing need is not merely a gateway to evangelism, but the embodiment of what the church is meant to be? This book prepares the church planter and pastor to live out the holistic mission of Christ, to enjoy an all-consuming love for God, and to express corresponding self-sacrificing love for our neighbours in every village and city.
