Synopsis

Jesus came to seek and to save the lost, paying particular attention to the downtrodden and the poor. As followers of Jesus, Christians are called to imitate his example and reach out to those who have the least. This book offers biblical guidelines and practical strategies for reaching those on the margins of our society with the gospel of Jesus Christ. The authors—both pastors with years of experience ministering among the poor—set forth helpful “dos” and “don’ts” related to serving in the midst of less-affluent communities. Emphasizing the priority of the gospel as well as the importance of addressing issues of social justice, this volume will help pastors and other church leaders mobilize their people to plant churches and make an impact in “hard places”—in their own communities and around the world.

If you’re not familiar, this is a great way to explore their model related to ministry in difficult p......more

Goodreads review by Ainsley on September 04, 2024

This was a super special book for me in two ways: 1. It speaks pretty directly to the situation of my local church and its location 2. This is the first book I’ve read that combines what I’m studying in school with my faith which was such a wonderful and inspiring and encouraging thing to have!......more

Goodreads review by Ricardo on March 22, 2018

INTRODUCCIÓN Puede que al momento que lees el título de este libro inmediatamente te hagas la pregunta sobre lo que es “un lugar difícil”. Todo este mundo es difícil para la iglesia porque ella posee su ciudadanía en los cielos. Pero lo que Mez y Mike tratan de comunicarnos es otra cosa. Este no es u......more
