Cultural Change & Your Church

In our communities composed of people from various cultures, countries, and backgrounds, where does the church stand? How representative is it? And how can local churches best minister and evangelize within an increasingly multicultural society?

'Cultural Change and Your Church' is an invaluable resource for understanding the transformation of our cultural landscape and, most importantly, for learning how to embrace the resulting opportunities to minister to all people. Michael Pocock and Joseph Henriques consider the Bible's examples and teaching related to diversity, introduce several churches currently modeling cross-cultural ministry, and suggest hands-on ways for church leaders to encourage change and proactive thinking.

This outstanding volume will challenge church leaders and lay persons alike to be culturally sensitive to America's kaleidoscope society and winsome in winning people of other backgrounds to Christ.

Michael Pocock and Joseph Henriques have cast strong vision for outreach into our ethnically diverse communities and given us models to guide the way.
-- Aubrey Malphurs, author of 'A New Kind of Church: Understanding Models of Ministry for the 21st Cenutry'

This remarkable book comes out of the trenches, not the ivory tower. As a guide for cross-cultural ministry, it is solidly based on Scripture, not the latest fads. You will be educated and motivated by reading this book. I can't recommend it too highly.
-- Warren W. Wiersbe, author, Bible teacher, and speaker
