Community Development for Kingdom Impact: Helping People from Here to Eternity

As followers of Jesus Christ, we are moved by the needs of people. We are concerned about poverty, hunger and suffering. We are especially moved at the prospect of people's eternal suffering as well. How do we integrate our efforts to help people around the world both physically and spiritually?In this book, Community Development for Kingdom Impact: Helping People from Here to Eternity, Jeff Palmer explores community in the Bible and how the discipline of community development can be a part of our missional strategy. He gives us a background for understanding communities and their problems as well as practical steps and tools for us to address underdevelopment. Most importantly, he helps us see how addressing people and their physical needs can help lead us toward impact not only for their life on earth but eternity as well.
