2009 Mercy Conference CD The Integration of Middle Class Christians & Christians Living at Lower Socioeconomic Levels in One Congregation for Kingdom Ministry

Randy Nabors-PCA. What do the poor need, and how best to help them? Do we send urban or poverty professionals to live among them, do we relocate compassionate missionaries to organize them? Is it OK for middle class Christians to simply send people of exceptional faith to bring the Gospel to the poor, while they stay separated from inner city communities or pockets of poverty? This seminar will discuss the need of the poor for middle class people and families as models and as resources, and what the dynamics of integrating people from socio/economic, educational, and ethnic groups might be. We will discuss the great need to simply radicalize middle class Christians so that they stop running away from the poor, but embrace them with wisdom and dignity.
