Street Signs: A New Direction in Urban Ministry
Overview
Look closer. There are signs of hope in your city. Along your city streets, there are signs of hope pointing to God-given opportunities for spiritual and practical transformation. With the explosion of urban growth, cities today present exciting new directions for church and community leaders. Street Signs challenges Christians to recognize these new opportunities and to build on what God is already doing in their cities. Authors Ray Bakke and Jon Sharpe offer transferable models from consultations held in more than 200 world cities with church, business, government, and other leaders. This ministry-transforming guide will equip Christians to become volunteer consultants, bringing together church and city leaders to mobilize resources for urban renewal. Street Signs provides basic methodology, stories of how this is successfully being done all over the world, and practical how-to suggestions. Get ready. God is already on the streets.
