REACHING THE SLUMS OF TODAY'S MEGA-CITIES

Viv Grigg

The urban poor now constitute an unreached people group that is the third largest in the world, one that is doubling every decade and among the most responsive to the gospel.

The most strategic and needed actions to reach this growing population with the gospel relate to breaking the bonds of injustice, sin, oppression, and poverty, and modeling Jesus' approach for social change by establishing movements of disciples among the poor.

This revised edition of Cry of the Urban Poor reports the findings by Viv Grigg and his coworkers after years of living and working in the slums of some of the largest cities in Asia, Latin America, and the United States. It describes their efforts to discover universal principles for church planting among the poor.

This combination of anthropological and sociological reflections, integrated with principles drawn from practical experience, will challenge the missing emphasis on mission in the world's great city slums.
