Digital Logos Edition
Learn to diagnose needs in a local community and to discover some of the felt needs in a neighborhood. Begin to think biblically and missionally about ways that a church or group of churches could be involved in responding to the needs in that community. Understand what the Scripture says about applying it to your life in a manner that is relevant to your church and community.

“‘Don’t be weary in doing what is right, because in due season you’ll reap’—what?—‘if you don’t quit.’ So much of ministry is not quitting. Keep on, till the soil, get to know people, build relationships, don’t be discouraged.” (source)
