The Christian Community Development Association, which published a book called “A Heart for the City” in 1999, put out a similar book a decade later that had been deliberately expanded to “A Heart for the Community: New Models for Urban and Suburban Ministry” (ed. John Fuder and Noel Castellanos, Moody Press, 2009). Many of the articles point out that the concerns and opportunities that once were associated only with the inner city were now found in the suburbs as well. No longer were the suburbs all white, middle class, and English speaking. More and more suburbs were racially, economically, and religiously diverse.

As always, some good thoughts Ted.

It would be helpful to see some stats regarding demographics (which no doubt would vary some state to state) regarding the presence of first and second generation immigrants, the poor, racial minorities in urban centers vs. suburbs vs. rural. And the implications for both evangelism and church planting.

I read a book a few years ago that made me wonder if we needed to sell everything and move to the city to really do God’s work. Then, one morning when I was making my bed, I turned to the window and looked out and had a realization. I looked at all the houses that lined my neighborhood and realized that they were full of lost people that Jesus loved just as much as the someone in a village around the world or the inner city. I need to love them well and tell them about His saving grace right where I am at.

I like living in the suburbs. We live in a nice suburban community full of heathens. Don’t they count?
