So much of our attention in congregational development is spent
dealing with internal issues and opportunities that we turn more
and more inward. Even our "outward" work smacks of our "inward"
bias as we invite people to our events and ponder how to make our
events more compelling for those who aren't part of our
congregations. John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, is known for
saying "the world is our parish." Simply stated, the streets are
our sanctuary. Our communities are our congregations. Yet too often
congregations ignore their neighborhoods. They don't consider the
vast resource of people surrounding their church and seem to forget
that Pentecost, the very event that gave birth to the church,
happened in the streets. It's time for churches and congregations
to engage with the people around them--most of whom have not yet
made a faith decision but are hungering for the grace that only God
can provide. Participate in this study of Nehemiah and discover
what people God is asking you to encourage, what walls God is
calling you to repair, what ministry God might be calling you to
lead or do, and where you should start. This book will give readers
inspiration and practical tools for engaging with their communities
in ways that help congregations and communities become whole.
