Communities First: The Theology of Development
Jay Van Groningen
Christians and churches bring unique gifts to their neighborhoods and communities. Communities First materials and consultation will help you to engage with your community, influenceing it in ways that make life better for everyone here and now. As a result, you will see your community respond and change in surprising and redemptive ways. The Church and God's Kingdom will grow.
Communities First will challenge you and your church to
- Discover what the Bible says about the church's responsibility to people who are poor and hungery.
- See your community as Jesus does.
- Move beyond giving handouts to helping people imporve their lives.
- Develop a common vision between the church, the community togetherness.
- Help people work together for common goals.
- Discover unfair laws and work to change them.
