Your Guide to Church-Based Compassion
CityServe
(Salubris Resources, 2019)
WHO: Dave Donaldson, co-founder and chairman of CityServe International; and Wendell Vinson, pastor of Canyon Hills Assembly of God Church in Bakersfield, California, and co-founder of CityServe International.
THEY SAY: “There’s a wealth of church-based compassion solutions to civic and societal problems that remains isolated, and sometimes, lost because a pipeline to discover and share these models doesn’t exist.”
THE BIG IDEA: Communities can be transformed as church leaders are equipped with proven leadership principles and best practices from industry-leading professionals. This will help believers compassionately live out the gospel of Jesus Christ in their communities
THE PROGRESSION:
This book, written by 40 leaders in community-based and global compassion, is divided into seven parts that cover knowing your community, church-based compassion models, marketing and funding, and more.

“God has ordained for you to occupy a seat at the table of influence to bring spiritual and physical renewal to your community.”
