Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Jesus Hasn't Given Up on Small, Exploited, and Overlooked Places--and Neither Should WeMany young people entering ministry and starting careers believe success requires them to leave their communities. After all, the fastest-growing congregations, the highest-profile ministries, and the best opportunities are in big cities or their wealthy suburbs, aren't they?But Jesus didn't ignore the small, the exploited, or the overlooked places, and neither should his followers. In this reflective yet eminently applicable book, pastor Charles E. Cotherman, executive director of the Center for Rural Ministry, challenges our assumptions through stories that showcase the power and beauty of a faithful presence in seemingly insignificant places. Drawing on his lifetime of experience in rural communities and churches, Cotherman demonstrates the outsized impact we can have when we have the courage to stay, root where we're planted, and serve God with joy. This book is for two kinds of readers: Those weighing whether to stay--seminary students, young ministry candidates, and anyone wrestling with whether faithfulness requires leaving their small community for greater opportunity elsewhere Those who have already stayed--pastors, church planters, and laypeople already serving in rural, small town, or post-industrial communities who need theological grounding and practical encouragement to root deeper and persevere longerWhether your community is rural or in the rust belt, whether you're surrounded by endless corn or abandoned mining operations, Jesus still sees you and has a plan for your life and ministry. Discover how you can make a difference right where you are--starting now. Experienced pastor and professor encourages those serving in rural communities to embrace the hope that Jesus hasn't given up on small, exploited, or overlooked places and invites those in small town ministry to root where they're planted, minister to their community no matter what its size or challenges, and serve God with joy.
