Neighborhood Mapping: How to Make Your Church Invaluable to the Community

If your church relocated, would your neighbors notice? Would there be an outcry for you to stay?

Whether you are a church planter, pastor, community activist, missionary, college ministry leader, or simply a Christ-follower looking to impact your community, this resource is for you.

Neighborhood Mapping by Dr. John Fuder is an engaging, practical tool available to assist workers in the field to better understand the communities they are involved with. It awakens the neighborhood explorer with effective methodology for ＂exegeting＂ their neighborhood, offering surveys and samples to lead them in that process.

Dr. Fuder calls believers to shift the focus from inside the church building to those who live in the community. He offers here an easy-to-use resource for those who care about ministry to ＂the least of these.＂
