Church Planting and Development, Boston, Massachuetts: Pray for Dr. Bill Edmondson who recently wrote of his passion for reaching into urban areas. “The local Christian church is the organism that is able to extend uncorrupted life to the cities of our world. Yet our cities wait for Christians who tend to minister in suburbia or rural areas. What is needed are strong urban churches who, by design, minister to the full demographic of the city in a way that honors God by rescuing people—all kinds of people. This is my zeal, and I hope it consumes me. Thank you for joining us as we seek to build such a church in Boston.”
