Christian Mission and Poverty

Acknowledgments I would like to thank the residents of South Central and Industry neighborhoods and the members of Urban Light Community Church for what they have taught me about living at the margins. To my family: Aidan, you help me to see what it means to be created in the image of God. Alister, you help me to see what it means to persevere in the joy and love of Jesus. Leslie, your loyalty and truth-telling help me to know who I am in Jesus and to respect all people. Thank you to Hank Voss for initiating this project and the series of spiritual classics to which it belongs.
