With decades of experience speaking prophetically and redemptively into the charged racial climate of the American South, John Perkins began to see a need for organized thinking and collaborative imagination about how the church engages urban ministry. Together with Wayne Gordon and a now legendary cadre of collaborators, the Christian Community Development Association (CCDA) was born.

Nearly thirty years later the CCDA\'s eight key components of community development still set the bar for how churches, parachurches and nonprofits engage cities with the whole gospel.

Relocation
Reconciliation
Redistribution
Leadership Development
Listening to the Community
Church-Based Development
A Wholistic Approach to Ministry
Empowerment

With firsthand perspectives from leaders of longstanding and emerging community development ministries from throughout the world, Perkins and Gordon revisist eight communities and guide a new generation of disciples to seek the welfare of their cities to the glory of God.
