An appeal to Church Ministers and leaders to consider equipping Christians for work of ministry in the workplace with community transformation as a goal. Time has come for the Church to act on the fact that the transformation of our community may not take place if we expect the community to come into church buildings.

If I come from a broken family, how can I turn my life around? The solution seems obvious: leave home, marry a Christian, start my own family. Do things different from the way my parents did. So why do so many who try this wind up making all the same mistakes their parents did?
