Conclusion: Multiplying Laborers for the Urban Harvest calls for New Paradigms of Leadership Development Based upon Fresh, Open Readings of the Scriptures on the Poor.

If the Church of Jesus Christ is to awaken to the marvelous and yet up-to-the-present wholly untapped resource of urban Christians and their ability to multiply ministry, men and women must commit to fresh, new readings of the Scripture regarding the poor, the city, the Church, the Kingdom, and other biblical themes which suggest that God has elected the poor to be heirs of the Kingdom, and the barons of faith. Without these new perspectives anchored in the prophetic Scriptures, we will continue to believe that nothing profitable ever can emerge from the Nazareth of the present day, the inner cities of America.
