Compassionate community work

A practical course book for community workers and churches seeking to serve a local community. Learn how to indentify who holds power and who are marginalized, what are the social strengths and weaknesses and what provisions are available. Then learn how to encourage cooperation between existing service providers and how to negotiate new provisions. This resource for students and teachers combines the best practice currently taught with a biblical worldview, illustrated from the author's extensive life experience in varied social and cultural settings.
